Landscheid House

Castle/Palace/Manor House
The Landscheid house is used as a hotel and restaurant (see Gut Landscheid).
The baroque country manor was built between 1718 and 1725 by Ernst Bertram von Hall and his wife Maria Anna von Hochstetten. Its predecessor was a knight's seat (a tower building) on ​​a medieval motte with a moat. Landscheid was first mentioned in 1301.

The two-story manor house, built of whitewashed rubble masonry, has five bays. Doors and windows have stone surrounds; the high, two-story hipped roof is crowned with a polygonal lantern. Stone anchors in the masonry of the front facade indicate the year 1718. Above the central entrance, framed in ashlar, is a cartouche bearing the coats of arms of the von Hall family (a black lion on a silver field) and the von Hochstetten family. The chronogram of the Latin letters in the heraldic inscription yields the year 1725, the year of the building's completion.

The manor house is flanked by two residential and commercial buildings made of whitewashed brick, the one on the right with a surrounding cornice.
