"... delightful fishing, grand (large) forest, livestock farm, good iron ore in the lake, good meadow and decent field for 24 barrels of grain, 2 ponds ... The manor house, which is well composed with majestic (splendid) and precious basements, locks and doors ... are all together estimated at a value of 1.000 daler silver coins"
