Wildkuhl Manor House

The village of Wildkuhl was first documented in the fifteenth century and the manor house was built around 1883.  The unique estate grounds consist of a main house and two added side wings that enclose a courtyard with an oak tree that is over 300 years old.

After 1945 refugees found shelter here.

The estate is farmed by a communal association that offers a home to mentally handicapped people and in concert with them attempts to form a life perspective.  The center of its work is the pedagogical aspect and an attempt at self-sufficiency through biologically dynamic agriculture.
