Guided Story
Imagine standing here back in 1872. The grand manor before you was once the heart of a sprawling knight's estate. The Mallinckrodt family called this place home, surrounded by forests and with sweeping views over the Ruhr Valley. Look behind you, see the thick trees—they whisper tales of hunts and summer gatherings. As you gaze upwards, picture the elegant receptions and balls that would have been held here. Just a short distance away in the Ruhraue, one might have heard the carriages of visitors rolling by. Today it's quiet, but if you close your eyes, you might still catch a faint echo of laughter and music from those bygone days.
