Rittergut Benndorf and Former Castle

You enter the Benndorf manor through the two-storey gatehouse. There you can stroll in the castle park, look at the manor houses or conjure up the former castle in your mind's eye with the help of the floor plan that has been preserved and a little imagination. A support association offers guided tours if you register in advance.
