The tower of the old castle, covered in wild vines, is beautiful to look at. 😄

Beautiful old arched bridge has lasted for many years and outlived many newer bridges.

A castle with history in villages where you wouldn't suspect it. Now in private hands. More text coming soon...

A Lady Chapel was first mentioned in 1412. The church was probably built later, as the year 1740 can be found in various places.

A nice little hiking trail goes along the Zechstein rocks. Here you will also find the so-called knee grotto, which served as a shelter for our ancestors 12,000 years ago.

The first documented mention was in 1074, when it was still a moated castle. In 1850 the moat was filled in. After the expropriation in 1945, refugee families were quartered and so the castle escaped the destruction to which many other manor houses fell victim after the war.
