The Wülmersen moated castle was founded around 1108, as can be dated from the buildings. It was owned by the Helmarshausen monastery. Around 1330 the Knights of Stockhausen ran a farm here. Over time, the medieval courtyard was expanded, the wooden ape was diverted for a moat and a new house was built next to the medieval estate. After homeless refugees were settled here after the Second World War, the medieval estate ensemble remained completely unused and fell into disrepair, so that some buildings even collapsed. From 1987, painstaking work was carried out to rebuild it, so that the Wülmersen moated castle can now be admired again in its former glory. There is also a café on the site today, as well as an agricultural museum on the upper floor of the barn. The museum can be entered via the café. The 3 € entrance fee is to be paid at the cash desk of the café. The exhibition is very informative, not too big, but still very nice. Many photos from the region hang on the walls. You can certainly spend some time here, especially since each building on the estate also has its own information boards. An audio tour of Wülmersen can also be used for a fee.

A place with many sights on the cycle path
