Walking around a small town like Lembach is also really about putting aside the daily routines and whatever fills your mind. It is an opportunity to let the brain take a holiday as well, without switching it off. And this is what happens when you come to the the grandest building in Lembach - the small château.
It might be important for the local history journals, but not for one's self - so who might have lived here? Was is some local count or earl, with a small profitable estate? What might have his normal day been like some 250 years ago? Did he have any daughters he needed to marry off? And were there any eligible young royalty in the region - maybe as far as Strasbourg?
And how would they have used the large garden at the back? Grow vegetables or keep it as a nice lawn to be used in summer months and have meals outside?
