The baroque castle Neusorge - once the place of work of the great Swedish humanist Ella Brandström - dominates the townscape of Zschöppichen. Ella Brandström, known as the Angel of Siberia, ran the children's home and orphanage at Neusorge Castle from 1923 - 1931.

The castle is currently being extensively renovated - very nice. But can only be viewed from the outside.
