3848 Flechtingen The castle [left]] was first mentioned in 1307. It had been built on an island in the castle lake presumably between 1297 and 1307. The founders of the castle were the brothers Schencken von Dönstedt. The Schenck family remained in possession of the castle until 1945. At the beginning of the 15th century it was remodelled into a residence castle. Further modifications in historicist style followed between 1860 and 1897. The old draw-bridge was replaced by a dam in 1864 to provide easier access from the park that had been laid out around the castle lake in 1860.
