Guided Story
Imagine yourself stepping back into the 16th century. Surrounding you are waters that once served as protective moats for the castle. Look up, the towers rise majestically against the sky. Haus Blegge wasn't just a refuge but a prominent knight's residence. Nobles who lived here once hunted in the nearby forests. Today, as you walk through the park, you can almost hear the echoes of the past. Behind you, in the new building, history has turned a page, yet the spirit of former times lingers.
