On the castle island you can admire numerous art installations or relax and linger on the hidden benches. The atmosphere is magical and if you like, you can stop by the castle prison café. It was probably never a real prison, but the officials in question had two small cells at their disposal, in which they occasionally had overnight guests until 1927.

For the castle area, the Krückau was dammed up in trenches in such a way that three islands were formed, of which the last island bearing the actual castle was also surrounded by a wall ring. Remains of this ring can still be seen today on the crescent-shaped island between the water mill and the manor house. It is not yet certain whether the entire facility was still surrounded by an outer wall.

It is quite possible that there were already small islands in the river at this point of the Krückau, which were then raised to the required size; this would explain the irregular ground plan of the castle grounds as well as the distance to the center of the settlement.

The individual islands existed until the 19th century and were separated from one another by drawbridges; parts of the trenches were only filled in from 1823.

The castle island and those who carried the castle prison, the clerk's house and their predecessor buildings were united by backfilling the trenches. The approximate area of the palace garden is now marked by the “Rantzau” street, where remains of the former moat can be found, which today form a small pond.

There was originally a bailey between the castle island and the garden, but there are no more indications of its shape.
