Wonderful town hall with a castle character. On the main square right next door, you will also find many opportunities for refreshments and/or resting places.

The Reinhart family has been cultivating the aronia farm in Peterdorf II for generations. Steeped in history, the business quickly specialized in berry cultivation. Black elderberries, currants, aronia berries, and, most recently, June berries are part of their daily produce. The farm has been certified organic for many years. Whether in the farm shop or online, feel free to browse the selection and see for yourself the products produced with love and passion.

A farmhouse inhabited for many generations, surrounded by orchards and nestled within them – Christine Fischer's garden. Around 280 rose varieties, primarily heirloom varieties, ramblers, and wild roses, bloom annually around the farmsteads. My Paul's Himalayan Musk has conquered a mighty pear tree and is already stretching its tendrils to the next. But what would the queen be without her court? Countless varieties of clematis, alliums, rare perennials, and woody plants make up this. The result is a harmoniously colored, fragrant garden, whose charm you are cordially invited to enjoy. Opening hours: in June by appointment only.

The chapel was renovated in 1993 and is looked after by 8 families. Each family takes responsibility for 1 year. The chapel is used for devotions in May, for blessings of food at Easter and a few times a year for church services.
