    The beautiful castle is located in the middle of a 30 hectare green park. It is crossed by small rivers and is a real treat for the senses. You cannot visit the castle, the rooms can be rented for celebrations and conferences. The Christmas market at the castle, which is open to all visitors, is definitely worth a visit: schloss-hohenpriessnitz.de.

    As early as 977 there was a royal estate here, which Otto II donated to the episcopal church in Merseburg in that year.

    Later, not far from there, there was a manor house in the village, which was owned by various noble families one after the other. The manor house that stands there, which has now been structurally very altered, was built in 1677–78 by Christian von Klengel (1629–93), who had acquired the manor in 1675; the project was probably provided by his brother, the Saxon chief architect Wolf Caspar von Klengel.
