Built in the early 1800s by Oscar Benno Seppelt, who is said to have turned slightly insane after spending hours confined in his private retreat, located the trophy cellar. If you go on one of their ghost tours held in the summer months, you feel as if you are being watched all the time.
Walking through the barrel tunnel, you can hear loud footsteps above
you, but there is no floor above you. After 7PM, the lights will not
turn on in the lower levels. The ghostly apparition of a maid is said
to haunt the homestead and tunnels. If you walk past the distillery and
other cellars, you can hear screaming in the vineyards and see glowing
in the top tower of the distillery. While walking past the Vinegar
factory, you can hear the machines working, wheels cranking and the
sounds of steam blasts, even though the factory has been locked for
over 150 ye ars. During the tours, you can go into Oscar’s retreat,
which is so small it can only fit a maximum of 4-5 people who even have to duck their heads to walk in. In the Mausoleum of the Seppelt family,you can see eerie bloodstains on the walls, which are still wet on the anniversary of their deaths. Due to this, the Mausoleum was locked and bolted shut in the late 20th century. Moans and whispering can be heard in the dinning hall, which you can hire for functions. Staff and tourists in the garden have heard rifle shots. These ghost tours are
not for the faint hearted, and no tapes, projectors or computers are
used at all. Also not recommended for children under ten years old.
Walk through the gardens as you hear stories of near death experiences and listen to the screams and shots through the air. Many tourists have felt cold spots, and being pushed by invisible forces. Others have told of feeling depressed near the gardens, and even being frightened into screaming fits.
