Built in 1688, the castle was used as an insane asylum since 1811. During the Governance of the Nazis many thousand sick, old, "non-aryan" and mentally handicapped people were killed in gas chambers in the basements of the castle.
After WWII it housed a factory for turbines as well as a sanatorium and a sheltered workshop.
Truly a place where lots of history took place, this beautiful old building decays since 1991.
extremely foreboding - the harshness of the stone walls, the darkness of the sky, yet with a small hint of promise coming from behind the wall to the right
