Apart from being a gift of love, the castle was dream turned into reality for Baron von Wolf, who planned on breeding racing horses in this semi-desert environment. Unfortunately, his dream was short-lived as he was killed during World War I in Germany.
His wife returned to America, leaving the castle with most of its contents behind. The museum houses a collection of 18th and 19th century antiques, armour and paintings.
