Beautifully designed trail of legends with all sorts of stories 😉 that are said to have happened. Numerous sculptures and a wonderful path under the oak trees towards the hunting lodge. The path is a bit bumpy, but still easy to cycle. During the week, the whole area is yours. Meaning, no other people around.

The orangery is a two-winged building, the roof serves as a terrace, it is located in the axis of the main tower of the castle and is open to the sea. The inner courtyard is planted, to the southeast there is an arcade and the statue of Hercules taming a bull in the middle of the arcade. The palm garden and shell fountain, several accessible roof terraces and the sea grotto are part of the orangery.

The plants are stored inside for the winter.

After the victorious war of 1870/71, as a result of which the (second) German Empire was founded, Grand Duke Friedrich Franz II of Mecklenburg-Schwerin commissioned his senior court building officer Hermann Willebrand to produce designs for a victory monument in 1872. After Willebrand's initial design drawings from August 1872, a first model was presented to the public in February 1873. The first work on the foundations took place at the beginning of 1873. The subsoil required that some soil had to be removed to a depth of approximately 4.60 m (16 feet). A barrel vault runs around a square central foundation in an irregular eight-sided shape with an outward-facing ring wall approx. 1 m thick. This is followed by another low vaulted ring. The whole thing rests on fieldstone foundations. An initially planned pile foundation did not have to be carried out.
