Guided Story

Take a moment to admire the facade. Imagine, once upon a time, this was a noble family's residence. Picture carriages pulling up, and elegantly dressed women stepping out. If you look to your left, you'll spot the Zeltnerweiher. It was integral to the estate, perhaps a backdrop for grand summer parties. Did you know there are legends of secret tunnels beneath the castle? No one can confirm their existence, but it's a fun thought, isn't it? Turn around and soak in the view of the surrounding structures, each with its own story to tell.
