It's worth seeing because it's such a spacious and beautifully designed property with a magnificent landscaped garden. Unfortunately, it's private and not accessible, but it's beautiful to look at from the outside. Originating from a peasant inheritance in the 15th century, it is now owned by Baron von Hammerstein.

You can read about its history up to the present day here: gut-loxten.de/startseite/geschichte.

Loxten Moated Castle & Estate, mid-16th century, Dutch Neoclassical,

Southeast of the present farmstead stood a fortified complex, first mentioned in 1474 as a dowry by Rixa von Brawe during her marriage to Johann von Dincklage. An heir, Frydag zu Buddenburg, then sold Loxten in 1682 to Lieutenant Colonel Christian-Günther von Hammerstein, who thus established the Loxten branch of the family. Serving as a member of the Order of Orange, he and his wife Agnes, née Schenck von Winterstedt, commissioned a Dutch architect to design a two-story manor house in the Dutch Renaissance style. Construction began in 1691. When Christian-Günther was killed in battle a year later, his widow continued the construction with the help of her brother-in-law, who lived in Gesmold. The entire complex was completed in 1698. Initially the property was used as a summer or country residence.

Until my bike led me to this estate with a moated castle, I didn't know it. The property is evidently in good hands and very well maintained. Simply driving past it without stopping is not possible. For me a very impressive property that I would have loved to see more of, but private is private.
