context_page_description: Schloss Bredebeck was built in 1901/1902 by a farmer, Herr Hellberg. It is actually a manor house in terms of its size and function. The house is located in woodland in the German state of Lower Saxony between the former villages of Hörsten and Hohne, which disappeared in the 1930s in the wake of the establishment of Bergen-Hohne Training Area. In 1936, the Bredebeck estate was incorporated into the training area and, since then, has not been accessible to the general public. It became part of the British Army's estate at Bergen-Hohne Garrison.
context_section_description: In Lower Saxony's inventory of listed buildings the manor and its gardens are described in detail in the state they were in 1970. An extract:
  "A gateway hidden in a dense forest of tall trees and an avenue of limes lead to the very charming estate situated in a forest clearing. The drive swings around a rectangular pond with a fountain and ends in the spacious front courtyard of a in baroque-style manor house dating to 1901/02. The main building, of white painted, plastered masonry, is divided into a corps de logis centred on the main axis of the drive, a south wing to the left that is set back and half the height of the principal block, and a north wing, also set back, that is joined to the main building by a short corridor. All elements are on two levels, [... there is a] baroque-designed entrance hall with stuccoed walls; a framed ceiling mirror with stucco profiles [...] At the rear of the building is a garden room in the Classical style, with an exposed beam ceiling in the style of a Classical entablature and a similarly designed frieze of small corbel figures (Konsölchenfries) at the height of the beams. Three-dimensional ionic columns, in front of the walls and in the four corners of the room, support the beams...In the left wing is an impressive ballroom, the length of the building. Wall panelling made of almost black stained oak in the shape of fluted columns with composite capitals, […] On the surface of the stuccoed ceiling is a portrait of St. Hubert's stag in bas-relief. Against the inside wall a stove made of brown and yellow marble; with the year inscription 1926. Parquet flooring. Off the rear of this hall are two smaller rooms: left, the library with built-in bookshelves and glass wall cabinets, ceiling stucco. Right, accessible from the hall, a hall of mirrors in the shapes of the empire; […] The room is kept in white and gold with grey contouring of the details."
