Castle island in Lake Rantzau

Over a small cobblestone bridge, visitors to Lake Rantzau enter an enchanted world where time seems to have stood still. On the castle island of Rantzau, guests can discover a listed ensemble that is unique in Schleswig-Holstein: The artist Karin Weißenbacher has opened her studio in the court clerk's house, arts and crafts are offered in the small coach house, the castle is now a manor house and is still inhabited, the "Royal District Court" is home to the Rantzau County Museum, guests can enjoy peace, cake and art in the former castle prison and the water gurgles through the wheels of the watermill on the other side of the river, just as it did almost 500 years ago.Today, creative people can buy pottery in the watermill. If you hire a rowing boat from the boat hire service, you can also explore the idyllic setting from the water - or walk around the small Rantzauer See lake on the lakeside hiking trail.
