Surrounded by the Reinhardswald forest, the Holzape stream and the Diemel river, located directly on the Diemel cycle path, the medieval farmstead, which was once a stately home and knight's estate, is a worthwhile destination for an excursion. The oldest of the listed buildings date back to the 12th century.
The LandMuseum and the museum café are located in a former stable building from the 18th century. The café "Mehlschwalbe" invites with delicious freshly prepared and seasonal offers not only for coffee and cake. The cafe is already open from 25.03.to 30.10.2022 Wed-Sun and holidays from 11-18. The LandMuseum is open from the end of March/beginning of April until the end of October every Wed-Sun and on public holidays from 11 am - 6 pm.
And in addition, the newly designed and modernly furnished permanent exhibition "Über Tellerrand" about the production of our food can be visited in the LandMuseum. Temporary exhibitions from the arts and guided tours of the depot (on request) complement the exciting museum offerings.
