Tips from the Community
If you stop by there, it's especially worth coming early in the morning – then you'll get the largest selection of fresh bread rolls and often still warm pastries straight from the oven. Many customers like to take something for breakfast there, because, based on experience, the baked goods can sell out quickly.

Rather lonely and small, but definitely worth a detour if you are nearby.

The Baumgartenmühle is a historical district or residential area of the town of Wittingen and is located very close to Knesebeck and Hagen. It is one of several historical mills in this water-rich area on the edge of the Südheide (South Heath). The Baumgartenmühle is located in a chain of water and windmills that used to be vital for the region. If you take a bike tour from Knesebeck towards Hagen or Mahnburg, you will often pass the Stackmannsmühle, the Baumgartenmühle and the Krummühle one after the other. They are picturesquely embedded in meadows and forests.

The picnic pavilion in Knesebeck is a charming, wooden resting point, which is considered a little insider tip, especially among cyclists and locals. It fits perfectly into the image of Knesebeck as a "walkable history book". From there you often have a wonderful view of the water of the pond or the adjacent historical buildings of the castle complex.

In Knesebeck there is a very special mill that is an important landmark of the town: the Knesebeck Windmill, also known as the "Mill on Mühlenberg". It is a so-called ground hollander mill. This means that the cap of the mill with the sails is rotatable, while the massive substructure is fixed. In contrast to gallery Dutch mills (which have a surrounding balcony), the masonry here extends almost to the ground.

North of the castle, the church of St. Nicolai was rebuilt in the 17th century by the "lords of the castle" of Wense in the Baroque style, after the Romanesque predecessor church from 1010 had been largely destroyed in the Thirty Years' War.
