Gut Lohe stands in Bakum (Landkreis Vechta), in Lower Saxony, Germany. No visits are on record for this building.
Gut Lohe refers to the site of a former moated manor near the municipality of Bakum, in the Landkreis Vechta, in Lower Saxony, Germany. Built after 1375 by the lords von Schagen to replace the destroyed Lohburg nearby, this water castle passed through several owners and rebuildings before its main house was sold for demolition in 1828. The grounds once formed a trapezoidal enclosure defended by a wide water moat, with the wider estate protected by a double moat. Today it survives mainly as a place of historical interest rather than a standing building open for visits.
