The former Traventhal Castle was the summer residence of the Dukes of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Plön. In the 18th century, the castle was best known for its late baroque garden, which was considered the largest and most important complex in the duchies. The building was demolished at the end of the 19th century and replaced by a historic, typical new building.
In the second half of the 19th century, Traventhal - like all of Schleswig-Holstein - came into Prussian possession. In 1866, a large state stud specializing in Holstein horses was established on the site, which became the most famous breed in the province. The large gardens and courtyards merged into the new function. The main wing of the castle was replaced by a simple new building, which was henceforth referred to as the manor house and served as the residence of the country stable master. Stables were built in place of the outbuildings. There were over 400 horses in them.
Today the facility serves as a hostel for various major events.

Markets, historical festivals, vintage car meetings, a country museum and much more can be found on the historic estate grounds!
The former Traventhal estate has been the centre of events for over 300 years. The listed buildings, built in 1873, give you a unique ambience. The 80 m long stallion hall and the country museum with their decorative columns, the expressive lattice stable windows, the half-timbered structure of the historic riding hall and other outbuildings characterise the picture.
The events are particularly suitable for a family outing. A petting zoo, railway, pony rides, carousels and much more are on offer for the youngest guests. Adults can enjoy the country museum between historical equipment and old carriages. You can discover many unusual things among the many interesting exhibitors and artisans.
The Traventhal country market takes you back to old times. "Baroque horsepower" is not only on display there, but also at the vintage car meeting. While having a pleasant chat, you can try the tasty Traventhaler Hengst beer, brewed in the country brewery.
