    From here you can also cycle seamlessly into the "Schlosspark".
    Castle and castle park have certainly seen better days.

        The castle is still in the same state as in the GDR era and therefore conveys authenticity. Even the lanterns original. The cafe in front of the castle has the same charm. Unfortunately, the prices are not from that time.
