Very close to Eschwege – in Wanfried-Aue – there is a manor with a manor house and extensive farm buildings that is well worth seeing.
Unfortunately, the ensemble was left to fall into disrepair for decades. Now daring new owners have made it their mission to save the manor house, stables, barns and the rest that still exist and give them a new future.
The buildings are under monument protection.
The renovation is difficult. Again and again, craftsmen expose smaller and larger damage.
On the Day of the Open Monument the doors will be opened and people can get an insight into the status of the work.
A balanced supporting program ensures entertainment and should inspire as many visitors as possible.
The Wanfried embroidery circle will also be there with Schwalm whitework, because that suits this occasion well! Both intangible cultural heritage and material cultural heritage such as architectural monuments are about preserving and passing on the skills and knowledge that have often been developed, tested and refined over very long periods of time!
The members of the embroidery circle will present themselves embroidering, be available to answer questions and invite to try things out and take a look. Embroidering in a group is fun and motivating.
Although the rooms have not yet been renovated and resemble a tidy construction site, the power supply is provisional and all equipment has to be brought along, the ladies of the embroidery circle are putting many of their beautiful finished projects on display in an exhibition. I will also be there.
Open on Sunday, September 8th, 2024 from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.
The manor is located at Lange Str. 54 in 37281 Wanfried-Aue.
