Agathenburg - der Schloss

Omran had a birthday party invitation at the Schloss in Agathenburg. Elke dropped us both there, and I wandered around then walked home (narrowly beating the rain).

Der Schloss

Der Schloss, and I assume the farmhouses were/are part of the estate

Farmhouses with thatched roofs

There is also a garden and a patch of forest which are part of the estate.

Formal garden

Bridge onto an island in the middle of an algae-covered pond

The ducks don't seem to mind

Two massive beech trees

I walked home through another patch of forest. There were signs indicatbing that this area has been inhabited for many, many years, and has been used as a burial site.

Der Paschberg is an ancient burial mound......

......with memorials from the world wars on the top

The local forests are protected (Schutzgebiete)
