    Tips

    Castle with changeable history.

    Became worse in the sugar jar (i.e., cheesy - or romantic, as you wish) in the 19th century.

    Marietta Baroness of the Bongart, sold the property in 1958 to a predecessor company of RWE Power, when the then open pit Fortuna-Garsdorf reached the limits of the park.

    On Sundays you can visit the open pit propaganda center here.

    Sorry: Opencast Information Center.

    The castle has a park with beautiful, large and old trees.

    And a cafe.

        Beautiful castle, with lots of water around it and many small bridges.
