Guided Story
Imagine standing here in the 13th century. Before you rises an impressive wooden castle, its tower standing proudly over the marshy landscape of the Schunter floodplain. The sounds of nature fill the air, much like they did back then. Look at the restored earthworks. They whisper stories of when this motte was a strategic point, protecting the surrounding villages. Picture the lords who once lived here, their horses grazing nearby, and traders passing on their way to Brunswick. Let yourself be carried away by thoughts of how they watched over the land and used the Schunter as a natural defense line.
