Gut Sierhagen is one of twelve noble estates that share a long, traditional history in Ostholstein: small knight's castles surrounded by moats – called mottes – transformed in the early modern period into estates where noble landowners could rule over serfs at will. Some estates became large and influential. With the end of the Weimar Republic, the power of the magnificent estates collapsed. Over the centuries, the fortress of Syraa became the large Gut Sierhagen with a grand manor house in the classicist style. The estate is still surrounded by a moat today. It passed through several noble hands over the centuries; today it belongs to Count and Countess von Scheel-Plessen. The estate operation includes 1,500 hectares of land and forest; it is one of the estates that are still economically successful today. The manor courtyard can be visited at any time, and a stylish break can be taken in the excellent Palmgarten café, provided it is open. One should pay attention to the opening hours; unfortunately, we stood before a locked gate. https://www.gut-sierhagen.de/ Gut Sierhagen in Holstein Switzerland

Eutin Castle in Eutin, East Holstein, is the cultural center and nucleus of the town. Along with Gottorf Castle and Glücksburg Castle, it is one of the most important secular court buildings in Schleswig-Holstein. The four-winged complex originated from a medieval castle and was expanded into a royal residence over several centuries.

A historic park in the style of an English landscape garden, bordering Eutin Castle. The garden's earliest origins date back to around 1500. From 1716 onward, a luxurious French Baroque garden was created, in keeping with the spirit of the times. However, just 60 years later, work began on its fundamental redesign and expansion into what was then a fashionable English landscape garden, featuring numerous special trees from all over the world, winding paths, small temples, a waterfall, a Chinese bridge, and romantic views of the lake. It has remained almost unchanged to this day, except that the trees have since grown into magnificent giants. The Ducal Garden has been open to the public for almost 200 years. Also located within the garden is a separate kitchen garden with an orangery, a New Zealand House, a display kitchen, and various beautifully maintained plantings (medicinal herbs, heirloom varieties, vines, kettle trees). The garden is now a listed monument as one of Northern Germany's most important works of garden art. It was extensively renovated in 2015. Learn about the philosophy behind this many-hectare, listed gem, its botanical features, what a kitchen garden is all about, and much more on a guided tour offered by the Eutin Tourist Information Center. Numerous educational programs for children are also held here.
