Sierhagen Estate is one of twelve noble estates in East Holstein that share a long, rich history: small, moated knight's castles – called mottes – transformed in the early modern period into estates where noble landowners could dispose of their serfs as they saw fit. Some estates grew large and influential. With the end of the Weimar Republic, the power of these magnificent estates collapsed. Over the centuries, the Syraa fortress became the large Sierhagen Estate, with a large manor house in the neoclassical style. The estate is still surrounded by a moat. Over the centuries, it passed through several noble hands; today it belongs to the Count and Countess of Scheel-Plessen. The estate includes 1,500 hectares of land and forest, making it one of the estates still economically successful today. The estate can be visited at any time, and you can take a stylish break at the excellent Café Palmgarten, provided it is open.

Eutin Castle in Eutin, East Holstein, is the cultural center and nucleus of the town. Along with Gottorf Castle and Glücksburg Castle, it is one of the most important secular court buildings in Schleswig-Holstein. The four-winged complex originated from a medieval castle and was expanded into a royal residence over several centuries.

A historic park in the style of an English landscape garden, bordering Eutin Castle. The garden's earliest origins date back to around 1500. From 1716 onward, a luxurious French Baroque garden was created, in keeping with the spirit of the times. However, just 60 years later, work began on its fundamental redesign and expansion into what was then a fashionable English landscape garden, featuring numerous special trees from all over the world, winding paths, small temples, a waterfall, a Chinese bridge, and romantic views of the lake. It has remained almost unchanged to this day, except that the trees have since grown into magnificent giants. The Ducal Garden has been open to the public for almost 200 years. Also located within the garden is a separate kitchen garden with an orangery, a New Zealand House, a display kitchen, and various beautifully maintained plantings (medicinal herbs, heirloom varieties, vines, kettle trees). The garden is now a listed monument as one of Northern Germany's most important works of garden art. It was extensively renovated in 2015. Learn about the philosophy behind this many-hectare, listed gem, its botanical features, what a kitchen garden is all about, and much more on a guided tour offered by the Eutin Tourist Information Center. Numerous educational programs for children are also held here.
