In 1784, Duke Carl Eugen of Württemberg (1728-1793) built a small pleasure palace on the outskirts of the village where he intended to relax from government business: "Carolus Otio" (Carl at Leisure) is carved into the triangular gable above the year. Modeled on the Wörlitz Park in Dessau, an English garden was laid out around the "Schlössle" with an artificial hilly landscape, water features with a walkable island, and various buildings, including an artificial ruin and a grotto. Today, it houses a therapeutic horseback riding center and is not open to the public.

What is hippotherapy ???
Have a look at Wikipedia -

As a form of therapeutic riding, hippotherapy is an animal-assisted, physiotherapeutic procedure in which specially trained horses are used. It is used in all age groups for diseases of the central nervous system, the support and musculoskeletal system.

Hippotherapy is a form of physiotherapy on a neurophysiological basis. The patient sits on the horse's back while walking and the therapy horse is used as a medium to transmit three-dimensional vibrations to the human pelvis. The resulting impulses enable the training of posture, balance and support reactions as well as a normalization of muscle tension. This also makes it easier to cope with everyday life.

A healing effect is to be achieved here above all by the fact that the human body has to readjust to the impulses caused by the moving horse. All movement axes and torsional movements are used. At the same time, the horse can serve as a motivational aid.
