The "Ahrensburg Palace Ensemble Cultural Experience Area" became a bit prettier in 2014 – and more stable. For all its romanticism, the things surrounding the city's landmark must also be safe for traffic. And that's what it is now: the wooden bridge that leads from the palace island to the Bagatelle, which was renovated for €312,000. The Aktivregion Alsterland contributed the lion's share, €140,000, and the Kulturstiftung der Sparkasse Holstein (Sparkasse Holstein Savings Bank) contributed €66,000. The palace foundation, which is in a rather less than rosy financial situation, also contributed €38,000 to the renovation. Now the small structure shines in new splendor. The dilapidated tropical wood was replaced with larch. Only the substructure remained intact. No one could say how old the crossing from the palace island to the "mainland" was. But landscape architect Annette Kirchgeorg left no doubt that the new bridge won't last forever. "It will probably last 20 years." With renovation costs of more than €300,000, this is a remarkably short period of time, which clearly illustrates why the more than 400-year-old castle is indeed so valuable. https://www.abendblatt.de/region/stormarn/article125477990/Neue-Bruecke-fuehrt-zum-Schloss.html

On these days you can find out more about bees and nature in the show garden and in the museum and on the opening days you can also purchase the honey you produce yourself. https://bienengarten-ahrensburg.de/

To the west of the castle island was the so-called Bagatelle, once a dairy farm of the estate. The wash house there from Schimmelmann's time has been preserved and has been used by the local citizens' association since it was completely renovated, partly on a voluntary basis, in 2005. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schloss_Ahrensburg

For over 430 years, Ahrensburg Castle has been one of the most beautiful Renaissance castles in Schleswig-Holstein. During this long period there were joys and sorrows for the castle residents, as well as phases of decline and economic hardship instead of wealth and splendor. The castle museum is impressive with evidence of a long history, from the Renaissance to historicism, and modernity is also represented. Today the castle is not only a museum of Schleswig-Holstein aristocratic culture and the landmark of the city of Ahrensburg, but also offers its visitors a variety of opportunities to discover it from completely different sides. https://www.schloss-ahrensburg.de/das-schloss/
