First mentioned in 1230 as the bailiwick of Paffendorf, this Renaissance-style moated castle is completely surrounded by water. Today, a brasserie invites visitors to enjoy coffee, cakes, and light meals. These can be savored either in the stylish interior or in the castle courtyard overlooking the park. The courtyard also serves as a venue for concerts and Christmas markets. The 7.5-hectare castle park delights visitors with its expansive water features, ancient sequoias and ginkgo trees, a stone pavilion, and numerous seating areas that invite relaxation.
