In 1847, the Swiss architect Meuron built the enormous mansion in the style of English Tudor Gothic for the Hamburg merchant Jenisch. The courtyard front is 3-story and the park side in the middle part even 4-story. A left side wing was added later. A large double-sided chimney and an imposing wooden staircase have been preserved from the time of construction. A large Lenne park stretches to the Varchentin Lake. A mausoleum is located in the park.
Through marriage, the estate passed to the Counts Grote in 1875, who remained the owners until 1945. A landscape park, designed by Peter Joseph Lenné, belongs to the castle. The mausoleum of the Grote family, built in 1895 in the neo-Renaissance style, is also located in the park.
Visits are possible only from the outside, unrenovated.
