Hiking

An extremely impressive moated castle, one might think when you look at it that it doesn't rest on solid ground, but actually swims in the moat surrounding the castle, which, however, has the dimensions of a lake. If the wind doesn't ripple the waves, the walls are reflected in the smooth surface and appear doubly mystical.

Hiking

The castle has been preserved in its original plans. It was built in the Middle Ages (13th and 15th centuries). It is an example of a fortified castle from the plains of Northern Europe. A walk along the “Moats” and an interior visit to the chapel, the vaulted cellars and the floors of the keep are recommended.
Enjoy a distant past in the present.
