Schloss Luntenbeck

Today we visited a Textilmarkt (craft fair) held at Scholss (Castle) Luntenbeck. I tried to find out a bit about the history of the castle, but there doesn't seem to be much available. I can say that it is a collection of lovely buildings built around a central courtyard area and each building is quite different from the rest. It was a wonderful setting for the fair, and we had a lovely time.
Lets see if I can manage to put some photos up here!


This was our 'ticket' to enter!

This is the Haupthaus (main house)

Gesinde- /Backhaus (baking house)

This fair is only on for one weekend every year, and we were so lucky to find out about it. Thank you Victoria (a new kiwi friend we met through a new kiwi friend we met through a lovely woman I sold something to in Wellington!)
