The Steinburg near Nannendorp – today Franzdorf – and Linau Castle were already mentioned in 1291 as the seat of the Scharpenberg Knights, who are notorious in Lauenburg's history for their numerous knightly feuds. In 1349, the Lübeckers attacked the Scharpenberg "robber barons" and, within 10 days, conquered and destroyed eight knights' castles in Lauenburg, including the Steinburg.

Wild for hiking and mountain biking

The Tremsbüttel Manor, also known as Tremsbüttel Castle, is a historic building in Tremsbüttel, Schleswig-Holstein. It was originally built as a manor house for a noble estate and is often referred to as a castle due to its castle-like appearance. The manor has a varied history with various uses, including a hotel until 2020 and a private clinic starting in 2023.

It's no longer worth a visit, as the castle can only be viewed from a distance through the fence. The gardens are also no longer open to visitors.

Here in the forest northwest of Franzdorf lie the remains of a medieval castle. However, only the remains of the ramparts and ditches remain, as well as some debris from fieldstone walls or foundations. The complex has a diameter of around 40m and stands out clearly from the otherwise flat landscape. Interestingly, the castle ruins lie exactly on the district border, i.e. on the border of the former duchies of Holstein and Lauenburg. The castle also gives its name to the municipality of Steinburg, which was created in 1978 from the merger of Eichede, Mollhagen and Sprenge. Coming from the direction of Mollhagen or Sprenge, the forest path appears to end here. For experienced mountain bikers, however, it should not be a problem to overcome the ramparts and ditches and continue the path on the other side towards Franzdorf.

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. https://www.binnenland.sh/kultur-und-tradition/details/geo/detail/landgestuet-traventhal-4459

It is not possible to take photographs through the fence; the castle grounds and the park are not accessible, as a private clinic is now located there.

The dukes of Plön and Danish kings once enjoyed themselves here. Today antique markets, classic car meetings and horse shows.
