Yeah, a car should fit through. This narrow street is certainly funny.

Church in Lebrade The church was first mentioned in 1240. Its core is a baroque hall building erected in 1699–1700, incorporating the north wall of its Romanesque predecessor, by order of the Danish King Christian V. The first version of the interior painting in acanthus ornamentation, modeled after the Christ Church in Rendsburg, was renewed in rocaille forms in 1758 under the Rixdorf church patron Count Wulf Hinrich von Baudissin. After being plastered over in 1830, the rococo version was uncovered and restored in 1986–1988. The exterior was redesigned in neo-Gothic forms in 1873–1874 by the Kiel architect Heinrich Moldenschardt. At the same time, the striking west tower was added, replacing a former wooden bell tower.

Gut Rixdorf The historic Gut Rixdorf is nestled in the rolling hills of Holstein Switzerland, right on the small river Kossau. The impressive farm buildings and 24 residential buildings with thatched roofs were built as early as 1721. The business has now been expanded into a modern arable farm with its own grain drying and storage. Since 2011, Gut Rixdorf has also had a biogas plant that generates heat as well as "green electricity" - not only for our company and the estate's partly historic residential buildings, but also for a large number of houses in our neighboring town of Lebrade. A wood chip heating system also allows us to supply the residential buildings with energy from sustainably produced energy sources.

The name could be derived from a knight named Hinrich von Ryckestorp, who was documented as the owner of the nearby Lehmkuhlen estate in 1369. The ancient Holstein noble family Rixdorf died out in 1509 with Wulf von Rixdorf. The ancient Holstein noble family von Brockdorff owned the Rixdorf estate from 1600 to 1681. In 1671, Wolf Heinrich von Baudissin was born on the Rixdorf estate. It was rebuilt between 1730 and 1740 under the master builder Rudolph Matthias Dallin. The estate has belonged to the Counts of Westphalia zu Fürstenberg since 1790. Until it was taken over by Prussia in 1867, the estate was also a patrimonial court.[1] In 1928, the estate district was dissolved and the communities of Rathjensdorf (until 1949 Tramm), Lebrade and Mucheln were created. Rathjensdorf with its districts Theresienhof, Tramm and Neutramm had been part of the Rixdorf estate as Meierhöfe for centuries.

Here in the north of the lake you have the option of staying in a small meadow (dogs are obviously not welcome) and from there you can go swimming in the lake. There is even a very small sandy beach... 😊 and a nearby parking lot.
