A highlight near Papenburg. The manor house includes a museum and outside there is a large park, with some paths for walks.

A fairytale fortress with a star-shaped layout, featuring various ramparts and moats. Visiting the grounds is free of charge. For a few Euros, you can also visit some of the houses from the inside, such as the small synagogue.
