Interesting building. Unfortunately it cannot be visited and you can only see it over the castle wall.

Well - one of my photos shows what it looked like here years ago: At first glance only a few stones, but authentic! Today: A brand new ruin! who likes it......

Today we visited the reconstructed castle. The reconstruction probably only affects the old keep, which was built a few meters thick with field stones. We would not have expected the castle itself to be here, but it is worth a short detour. Times must have been quite dangerous here back then, since some old castle ruins such as Cecilieninsel and the other castle ruins next to Cecilieninsel are also there. Incidentally, the way to the farm dog was blocked off, which means that it is no longer possible to get there. Next to the castle there are some ponds where fish was/is bred. If you want to enjoy the view, you can eat in the pond restaurant. But I don't know if this is still open at all, since there was no card on the house.

Nice castle surrounded with farm buildings.

I discovered the place by chance. Since I like castles, I was very satisfied and I took some pictures. Unfortunately, I couldn't spend a lot of time here. But the environment looks very nice.

The castle complex is on the way to the Billequelle and is only a ruin. Unfortunately, the access had been closed for a long time due to extensive restorations and with it the way to the Billequelle - but now the way is currently free again. In the past, apart from the hill and a few stones, there was nothing to be seen of a castle - now attempts have been made to partially reconstruct the castle's round tower with large field stones. I am unable to judge whether this has really worked out well ... it now looks much too bright and new for an old castle - hopefully it will age a little over time. The only public path leads from the castle to the Billequelle. The small bridge there is still closed, but you can walk / push past it. The slab path that leads past the source ends in a dead end and back it leads over a private property, where a farm dog takes good care and "intruders" bark properly. So you have to go back past the old castle.

Linau Castle was a three-part medieval castle. On the middle hill, the main castle, there are remains of a round tower with 3 m thick walls. A castle "Linowe" was first mentioned in 1291. At that time the complex, known as the "robbers' nest", was owned by the aristocratic Scharffenberg family and was destroyed. Possibly it was the "Schlossberg" near Linau-Oberteich. After the rebuilding here at this point (1308) the Scharffenbergs left the castle in 1345, but recaptured it in 1346 and feuded the land again. Through an alliance of the Duke of Lauenburg, the Counts of Holstein and Schauenburg as well as Hamburg and Lübeck, they were finally expelled in 1349 after a three-week siege.

Linau Castle was a three-part medieval castle. On the middle hill, the main castle, there are the remains of a round tower with 3m thick walls. A castle called "Linowe" was first mentioned in 1291. At that time, the complex, known as the "robbers' nest", was owned by the contentious Scharffenberg noble family and was destroyed. It may have been the "Schlossberg" near Linau-Oberteich. After rebuilding it here on this site (1308), the Scharffenbergs left the castle in 1345, but recaptured it in 1346 and fought the country again. By an alliance of the Duke of Lauenburg, the Counts of Holstein and Schauenburg, as well as Hamburg and Lübeck, they were finally expelled in 1349 after a three-week siege.

The moth is accessible again! Likewise the Bille source.

If you come from Kankelau, it goes beautifully downhill at high speed on this long and straight route and you can always see Wotersen Castle from a distance.

"May makes everything new ..." only not the way to the Bille source. Unfortunately, the path across the farm is still barricaded. The mayor could have left that open. Pity!

Access was blocked by a construction fence in April 2020 ☹️

The castle is privately owned and is well hidden behind a long wall that runs along the road.

The castle grounds may not be entered because it is privately owned. From this point you have the best view of the castle, which is hidden behind a wall.

From here you have a beautiful view across the landscaped park to the rear of Wotersen Manor. The landscaped park is not open to the public, so you have to look over the castle wall to see it. Wotersen Manor was owned for almost three centuries by the noble Bernstorff family, who played a significant role in Hanoverian and Danish politics during the 18th century. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gut_Wotersen

Wotersen Manor or Castle? The terms "manor house" and "castle" differ historically less in their inhabitants than in their function. Etymologically, both "castle" and "palace" are rooted in defense. The term "castle" has taken on a broader meaning since the Renaissance. A manor house, on the other hand, is always the center of an estate, such as a knight's estate or—in Schleswig-Holstein—a noble estate. Both are legal terms, as they historically presuppose a legal status, namely the estate owner's membership in the locally organized knighthood, which was represented in the state parliament. In any case, a manor house was the center of an agricultural operation, an estate, or at least a farm with arable land, or a vineyard, forest estate, or fish farm. You can find more detailed information about the different terms here: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schloss_(Architektur)

A beautiful mansion! But the historical outbuildings are also in good condition! Why it is also called "castle" is a mystery to me, because a sovereign never lived / ruled here!
