The castle is privately owned and cannot be visited. However, the pond and the park can be used for a relaxing stroll.

I discovered this small lake a little way off the main road. In summer it's definitely a nice place to chill out.

One of the churches of the famous Weimar master builder Coudray. It was built in 1840. In GDR times it was neglected and closed by the building authorities. There are currently construction measures take place. An emergency building is available.

The property is privately owned and mostly guarded by "relatively unfriendly" dogs. Nevertheless, it is a feast for the eyes, the owners have invested a lot of time and money to make it a piece of jewelry. Congratulations!

There is evidence that the castle was built in 1556. In 1560, the last Vitztum von Eckstedt sold the castle to Friedrich Anton von Mandelsloh. Later the castle passed to the sons. The Mandelsloh leased the property in 1784 to the Landcomissary Simon Ehrenfried Mirus [1], who bought it in 1820 [2] and held it until his death in 1835, before the owners often changed. The park was created in 1836. In 1860 the castle was demolished because it was in disrepair. In 1878 it was bought by Franz Kreiter, who replaced the castle with a new neoclassical building in 1882/3. From this it was acquired by the Secret Finance Councilor Friedrich Edmund Schwanitz in 1899, and in 1915 it went to Heinrich Gertzen from Bitterfeld. Rudolf Harnisch bought it in 1927. In 1945 the landowner Rudolf Harnisch was expropriated in accordance with the land reform laws in East Germany. A home for apprentices and a machine rental station were set up on the estate and in the farm buildings. In 1992 the former estate was empty. In 2002 the castle was sold again. Since then, the new owner has been restoring and refurbishing the castle. https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schloss_Eckstedt

The Gothic hall church in the complex was built around 1500. It has an elongated nave, a three-sided end of the choir and a retracted church tower in the west. In the 17th century, also in 1702 and 1783, it was structurally changed (Wikipedia).
