Peetshof Wietzendorf

The Peetshof in Wietzendorf is a typical farmhouse of the Central Heath in half-timbered construction whose buildings essentially date from around 1870. It is rare to find such an impressive testimony to rural culture from past centuries in its original location.

In 1987, the municipality of Wietzendorf bought the farmstead for museum, cultural, local history and social purposes. The main house and the barn with a janitor's apartment were restored and renovated in two large construction phases from 1989-1992 with the help of grants.

The Peetshof Wietzendorf local history association, founded in February 1988, is the tenant and sponsor of the farm complex and has rebuilt the pigsty, the granary, the farm garden, the bakehouse and the entire fencing on its own or thoroughly overhauled them from a poor state. In 2002, the old draw well was rebuilt and an old sheepfold from the Beschanshof in Halmern was integrated into the Peetshof. Today the farm is home to a museum on local and regional history and various exhibitions. In addition, everything that a large village needs for festivals and celebrations, community, culture and clubs takes place at the Peetshof.
