Description
Have you ever dreamed of living in a castle, surrounded by serene nature and just 5 km from the sea? Imagine being amazed daily by breathtaking surroundings! If you want to contribute to enhancing this already gorgeous place and be part of something truly special, you’ve found your hidden gem.
Our family has Dutch roots and my parents moved to Germany 30 years ago. As you can see in the picture, I have two sisters, and we each bring something unique to the table. The eldest is deeply involved in our family’s farming business, I (the middle sister) manage the business, and our youngest is the creative heartbeat of us all. The majority of the family is occupied with running the farming business on a daily basis and I’m the driving force behind related projects! We are a non-profit organisation that share a vision of wanting to transform this to a place where people come together, connect and enjoy life!
Come and experience the magic for yourself!

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We invite Workawayers to share their skills and knowledge with us. Whether you have experience in construction, gardening, sustainability, or creative arts like photography or cooking, your expertise is welcome.
A unique aspect of our estate is our extensive garden, which serves as a hands-on learning environment. We hope that those interested in gardening will make the most of this valuable resource.
As a family that has traveled the world, we value the richness of diverse cultural backgrounds.
Projects involving children
This project could involve children. For more information see our guidelines and tips here.
Help
You will be working in the castle and restoring rooms and floors. Your tasks will include sanding, painting, lacquering, etc. We are open to anyone regardless of their experience level.
You can come with a friend, as you will be mostly working independently in the calm nature.
Apart the helping hand you could give indoors, the peaceful garden also needs maintenance.
In short, there’s enough to do for you to contribute towards making this place even more beautiful!

This setup will give you the flexibility to cook and eat at your own convenience.

The castle itself is nestled in a forest with endless paths for walking or cycling, and a rather short bike ride away from the north coast. And well, frankly, a bike ride away from anything since the cycling infrastructure in the area as a whole is top notch. And to… read more
