Thallwitz Castle

The castle was built in the French style in the 16th century. After extensive renovations, it has stood empty since 1994 and was returned to its former owners. Unfortunately, the damage is increasing again – including to some of the outbuildings.

On 31.07.1253 today's Thallwitz was first mentioned as 'Talvitz' in a document by Margrave of Meißen, Heinrich des Erlauchten. Due to a Slavic settlement and the place name is derived from the old Slavic 'Talorici'.

In the 16th century, the Thallwitz castle was built by the lords of Canitz in the Renaissance style and the associated French-style park.
Reconstructed into a hunting lodge at the end of the 19th century and belonged to the Gera princes of Reuss j. L.

From 1942 to June 1994, the clinic for plastic and reconstructive maxillofacial surgery 'Wolfgang Rosenthal' was housed in the castle.

The castle was built around 1580. At the end of the 17th century, the Baroque garden was added. The main avenue leads to the castle and leads over a staircase with baroque fountain cascade to the elevated terrace, on which originally a Baroque new building was planned, but which was omitted for cost reasons. It was u.a. used as a hunting lodge. From 1943 even as a plastic surgery clinic, which was dissolved in 1994.
