The Ellernteich is located in the middle of the Rastede castle park near the tournament ground. A walk around the Ellernteich is recommended.

The Ellernteich is a real curiosity - because this pond was created twice.
The Oldenburg Grand Duke Peter Friedrich Ludwig had a park built next to his summer residence here in Rastede.
His son and successor Paul Friedrich August expanded the complex in the style of an English landscape park. As a result, in 1842 the local lowland, which was overgrown with alders (Ellern in Low German), was converted into a fish pond.
How complex the undertaking was can be seen from the fact that the construction of the pond was only completed six years later, in 1848. With its completion, a new line of sight emerged from the castle over the Ellern and Mühlenteich ponds to the water mill.
