An artfully placed wooden frame invites you to view the Aueweiher pond like a painting—perfectly framed by water, greenery, and sky. A popular photo spot and a tranquil moment in nature.

The castle is a former Benedictine provost house. In the 18th century it was redesigned in the Baroque style, creating a castle-like complex. Today there are various facilities for the preservation of historical monuments and the renovation of old buildings in the buildings. However, some parts of the facility can be visited.

Guided tours take place every Sunday at 2.30 p.m. from June to September. The meeting point is the entrance in the garden. By the way, the garden is open all year round if you just want to take a look at the buildings from the outside.

I've been going to Fulda for shopping for tens of years now, but I've never been to the floodplains or the provost's ... 🙈
