Guided Story

Imagine standing here in the 18th century, surrounded by the gentle sound of water from the moat that once encircled this castle. This was a retreat for the affluent Holzhausen family. Look to your left, where the park stretches out now—back then, it was the family's estate. Behind you, those towering trees were part of a carefully designed landscape garden. Listen closely, and you might almost hear the crunch of carriage wheels on gravel. This serene spot, now part of the bustling city, was once on the outskirts of Frankfurt. Today, it's a venue for cultural events, inviting you to step back in time and experience history firsthand.
