A bit of an open-air museum on the edge, remarkable that there are people who preserve these witnesses of time.

From 1840, Plön Castle was the official summer residence of the Danish King Christian VIII. For this purpose, the castle was renovated and the furnishings were partly renewed in the style of classicism. At this time, it also received the white plaster that is reminiscent of Danish castles such as Gravenstein and Fredensborg.[9]

Most recently owned by the state of Schleswig-Holstein, Plön Castle was sold due to necessary renovations that the state could not finance. Since January 2002, it has belonged to the "Fielmann Akademie Schloss Plön" and, after extensive renovations, serves the optometry and audiology industry as a training and qualification center. After the castle had not been open to the public for many years due to its use as a boarding school, the new owner opened it to visitors to a limited extent.

Plön Castle is one of the largest castles in Schleswig-Holstein and the only one preserved there at an elevated location. It is located in the town of Plön in the district of the same name. The former residence of the Dukes of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Plön was built in the 17th century during the Thirty Years' War. It has experienced a varied history, in which the castle also served as a cadet school and boarding school.

The Langenrade windmill (also known as the "Sventana" windmill) is an impressive historical monument in the municipality of Ascheberg, very close to Plön.

The only fully functional of the three windmills within the Holstein Switzerland Nature Park is located in Ascheberg-Langenrade. The windmill, named "Sventana," was built in 1860 in Kleinmühlen near Plön. It has stood in Ascheberg only since 1890, replacing a predecessor that burned down. In 1982, three couples with a passion for windmills decided to restore it to working order. After considerable financial investment and many hours of labor, the single-story smock mill has been operational and flying again since 1990. The restoration of the mill's sails was financially supported, among other things, by state funds for nature parks.
