September 22, 2026, Schloss Güldenstein

The castle-like manor house is considered one of the main works of baroque estate architecture in Holstein. The origin of the estate is a medieval moated castle. The actual Güldenstein estate was probably founded in the first half of the 16th century. In 1779, the estate passed to the Rantzau family, who were followed in 1839 by the Grand Dukes of Oldenburg, whose Principality of Lübeck, located in Schleswig-Holstein, formed an exclave of the Grand Duchy of Oldenburg.

Here you can wonderfully observe the most diverse water birds... whether it's the grey heron or the great white egret, the swans, ducks or even the kingfisher.

The Oak House, the Linden House, as well as the Cavalier House and the Stable can be rented. Perhaps this also applies to the Gatehouse?.

The St. Catherine's Church in Lensahn, a late Gothic brick church from the 15th century, impresses with its striking tower with a baroque dome. Particularly worth seeing is the richly decorated bronze baptismal font, which dates from 1641. The church also houses a historic organ, which offers a particularly attractive sound and is regularly used for concerts.
