Beautiful old and very well maintained moated castle ( P R I V A T OPERATIONS )

very beautiful moated castle from the 13th century. Privately owned, therefore not accessible, but nice to look at from the outside

A well-preserved moated castle from the 13th century. Not publicly accessible, but maybe that's why it's still in this 1A condition? A short walk around the lake is recommended. Very romantic.

You don't just drive past it, because this fairytale castle is not on a real street. The whole property is in great shape, the green areas of the park are very well maintained, you can walk around the whole moated castle and collect wonderful impressions or capture them in pictures. Our conclusion: this bike tour was also crowned with an absolute highlight.

A very beautifully landscaped and well-kept castle ? A true romantic idyll. The castle is looked after by the neighbors most of the year and always looks good. The entire facility is prepared with a lot of love. The private owners live in America and mainly use the castle as a residence in the summer months.
