Welcome to Gut Basthorst, where you can spend a day like no other. Ideally located close to the city of Hamburg, Gut Basthorst is an agricultural estate and historical landmark that can trace its roots back to the 13th century. It has been in family ownership for more than 400 years.
Today, Gut Basthorst is an internationally renowned location.
