Guided Story
Can you hear the gentle murmur of the water? That's the Schattbach stream flowing past this moated castle. Imagine horse-drawn carriages clattering up the cobbled path to the drawbridge. Look up – beyond those tall walls lived the noble von Laer family, who once ruled over this land. In the 16th century, this place was alive with trade and festivities. Behind you, the green meadows of the valley stretch out, where once servants worked and livestock grazed. Picture the castle glowing in the morning light, as the heart of a thriving estate.
