Lilliput Castle "... nothing stays as it is, nothing is finished in any way. Pure creation, anew every day. A growing organism, not a soulless, aggressive block." There are no works of art to admire in this house, because the house itself is a work of art, as crazy and eccentric as its name. Inspired by the architecture of the visionary Friedensreich Hundertwasser, the owner Steffen Modrach designed (and still designs!) his property into a colorful fantasy world. The facades of the house and yard consist of millions of colorful individual parts, of objects such as cups, buttons and garbage. Again and again you discover new intelligent and humorous details, hands that protrude from the wall or bizarre figures that follow you with their eyes. The large, artistically designed garden is also extremely worth seeing. The owner of the castle is happy to guide visitors through his inspiring realm after making an appointment by telephone.

The history of the mill is very well described on a display board. It's worth just sitting on one of the benches by the mill and looking at the vastness of the landscape.
