A castle that doesn't look like that on the outside. But the castle was actually inhabited by nobles. It is located in a beautiful park surrounded by the water of the Aller, which flows directly past the castle!

a beautiful castle located in a great park. The front has probably been recently painted bright white and looks really great now. The castle has a few towers and makes a well-kept impression overall, a visit is always worthwhile.

The Tankumsee is a spacious and actually beautifully laid out leisure area with many opportunities to spend a summer day in the countryside. Big cities certainly need such an area within a cycling distance. But it still seemed quite "sterile" to us.
