Exterior views of the manor house

The linden avenue: As a stately entrance, garden architect Maximilian Friedrich Weyhe devised a magnificent avenue of linden trees, whose width of eight meters gradually expands to double that, thus achieving a special effect in perspective. The over 150-year-old linden trees of the access avenue and the meadow in front of Gut Meierhof are also part of the initial planting, as are the two Lebanon cedars, which are registered as natural monuments, a ginkgo, and some prominent plane trees and copper beeches.

Manor house: The castle's ground plan forms a square with sides 19.55 meters long and has the same design from all four sides, except for the flight of steps on the north side.

Classicist-historical style: The austere character of the neoclassical building is an expression of the taste of the time and is modeled on the Renaissance villas of the Genoese city nobility from the 16th century.

The north facade: This lion made of natural stone can be found on the entrance stairs of Benrath Castle, located in the south of Gelsenkirchen.

Remise: The remise, which has been preserved in its original state, used to serve as a farm building where equipment was stored.
