Since 1973, the manor house has been home to the Kreismuseum of the Herzogtum Lauenburg district. The museum is dedicated to the history of the city of Ratzeburg and the Duchy of Lauenburg, offering a variety of exhibits on different themes such as the history of the Ascanians, the Duchy during the Thirty Years' War, a collection of mechanical musical instruments, and regional archaeological finds.
Architectural Features of the Manor House
The manor house is a two-story, eleven-axis building made entirely of brick. The building is sparingly accented with white stucco, and the window openings are highlighted with white whitewash. The three-axis central risalit is emphasized by a high gable on both sides of the palace. The courtyard is surrounded by two side outbuildings, which were originally connected to the main house only by low walls, forming a closed courtyard of honor.
Cultural Events at the Manor House
The manor house is not only a museum but also a venue for cultural events. Regular concerts and readings take place in the ballroom on the main floor. This makes the manor house a vibrant part of the cultural life in Ratzeburg and the Herzogtum Lauenburg district.
