Built in 1438 as the seat of a medieval chieftaincy and the resulting "Herrlichkeit In- und Kniphausen". The castle was destroyed by fire in 1708 and subsequently the stable was converted into a count's residence with administrative rooms. In 1990 the castle was completely renovated. Worth seeing are the ancestral hall, the gatehouse and the park.

This path is still under construction, but is already passable. A piece of pure nature directly along the Maade. NOTE: this is not a natural habitat for cigarette butts, glass, cans, dog waste bags, etc. Please be considerate of the flora and fauna.
