Historic Swimming Pool was dug manually by vagrants in the 19th century. The 'Bassin' of yesteryear had the allure of the French Riviera and was only allowed for staff. There was also a sunbathing lawn and a beach. There is now a swimming ban. Some sofas invite you to enjoy. A constructed pedestrian bridge provides the connection over the Ringwal Oost.
