ウプレンゲンの洞窟・トップ7

Every year on the third weekend of Advent, the cozy "Neeborg Christmas Market" takes place on the grounds around the Rauchkate. I can highly recommend a visit.

The smokehouse, or Rookkat as it is called in Low German, has been used as a local history museum since 1965 and served for many years as a smokehouse in which sausages, ham and bacon were smoked. The thatched house is almost 300 years old and was inhabited until the 1960s. The smokehouse includes a barn (Bischüür), the bakery (Backhuus) and the draw well (Soot). All buildings were moved to their current location near the castle in 1964. Until then, they stood at the northern exit of Neuenburg. The buildings, which have been preserved in their original condition, now serve as a local history museum for the Neuenburg local history association. Source: www.heimatverein-neuenburg.de

There isn't much left. The thick tower and a French cannon.

Köhlmoor Castle was rebuilt in 2014 and is located next to the airfield in Felde - Westerstede. The castle received its name because the “Köhlmoor” was once located in this area. In the 17th/18th In the 19th century, two families lived here and burned high-quality charcoal from the heavy peat. The style of the house is modeled on historic Renaissance country house castles both inside and out. The outer facade - a dream of white and yellow - is decorated with shell and stucco ornaments. A large mural decorates the entrance area.

The farmers in the area brought their sausages, bacon and ham into the approximately 400-year-old smokehouse in order to preserve them by smoking them. In addition to the smokehouse (Rookkaat), the museum ensemble of the Neuenburg local history association also includes a barn (Bischüür), the bakery (Backhuus) and the drawing well (Soot). All buildings have been preserved in their original condition. They were moved from their original location at the northern exit of Neuchâtel to their current location near the castle in 1964. Equipment and everyday objects from farm life are on display, especially for the production, preparation and preservation of food.

Stickhausen Castle is located on the western edge of the town of Stickhausen, a district of the East Frisian municipality of Detern in the Leer district in Lower Saxony.

Neuenburg Castle and the adjacent park, including the Heimathof, are definitely worth a detour.
