Culture and sights

  • The Dunau manor was first mentioned in 1560, but it is much older. During this time the property passed as a fiefdom of the Guelph Dukes from Erich von Goltern to Ernst von Alten and has remained in the family's possession to this day. The independent manor district of Dunau was incorporated into Lathwehren in 1929.
  • The Galerieholländermühle replaced the previously burnt down water mill of the Dunau estate, on whose foundations it was built, around 1851/52 .
