Long before the discovery of electricity and the inventions associated with it, our ancestors discovered the possibility of harnessing the power of the elements for various purposes - which were useful on the one hand, but could also be a threat as a force of nature on the other. A good example of the human inventiveness of earlier generations is such a mill: the heavy millstones used to grind grain or press oil, for example, could be powered by water or - as here - the wind. Hardly any of them still fulfil their original functions today, but fortunately some have at least survived as evidence of the old days.

This castle has a rich history of use as private property, as a place of scientific experimentation in the 18th century, and even as a place of refuge for young monks and theology students.
