From 1870 - 1914 a private observatory was operated here.
The largest existing telescope had an aperture of 29.3 cm and a focal length of 4.9 m, making it the largest in Germany at the time!
The building was demolished in 1930 and the facility was placed in a museum in Kiel.

On Saturdays there is a detour to Gut Bothkamp, where there is an antique barn that is open on Saturdays.
