Kreyern Forest Lodge.

Information:

Around 1600, a forest lodge was built, which was also used for hunting trips by the Elector. After a fire in 1847, the lodge was rebuilt in its present form.

According to the information panel: The house was owned by the Knights of Karras and was first mentioned in 1406. At that time, Kreyern was a part of Coswig and consisted of three houses and a chapel. In 1542, Elector Moritz wanted to expand his hunting grounds and incorporate Kreyern into them.

This event gave rise to the legend of Karras.

The knights sold the forester's lodge to Elector August and withdrew from Coswig.

Since the 17th century, the house has been used as a forestry office. From 2002 to 2005, the Kreyern forester's lodge underwent extensive renovations and is now the headquarters of the Moritzburg Forestry Office.
