The water castle in Ebersbach has the water rather around the back, from the front only the well is recognizable, at least if you are not very close.
There are no exhibitions, but as so often the building is used - eg. B. for the local government or a doctor's office. Events take place in the so-called Knight's Hall.

The castle was mentioned in 1392 as a royal hunting lodge owned by the Duke of Görlitz and was probably built as a moated castle around 1200. The Duke had the castle fortified. It burned down in 1560 and was rebuilt as a Renaissance castle by the Bischofswerder family, who owned it until 1581. In 1584, Hiob von Salza took over ownership and had the castle rebuilt in the following years. Further renovations were carried out in the first half of the 18th century.

Anna Martha Keßler von Sprengseyssen came into possession of Ebersbach Castle in 1719, Carl Viktor August von Broizem in 1754. Under him, further renovations were carried out twenty years later. Further renovations followed in 1798 and 1799, and in 1845 a wing was demolished and the moat in front of it was filled in. At this time, the castle was owned by Gustav Adolph Freiherr von Steinäcker. The subsequent owners changed often before Ebersbach Castle and Manor came to Georg Graf von Westarp in 1901 and to the Brühl family in 1910.
