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 castle related things, 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
For us, Workaway is first and foremost about meeting people from different cultures, sharing experiences, and learning from each other. We have an international background and have lived in different countries, so we especially enjoy exchanging ideas and stories over dinner, a coffee, or a walk in the woods. You’ll also have the chance to learn more about the heritage of the castle and the beautiful surrounding area.
Projects involving children

Help
We live in a historic castle surrounded by forest and beautiful nature. We are looking for Workawayers who are interested in cultural exchange and who enjoy being hands-on and contributing to this special place. There’s always something to connect on and do! :)
You are welcome to come on your own or with a friend!
This is a non-profit project: our main goal is to take care of this historic place and make it more beautiful step by step. You will not be asked to help with paying guests or in spaces that they use.
