During the GDR era, the building was used as a children's home and a home for mothers and babies until 1991. After reunification, the castle was privatized and used as a hotel after 2001 and as a registry office until 2016 (?). The continuing vacancy of the fairytale castle Kropstädt is sad to see and probably no happy ending in sight. The castle is surrounded by a ten-hectare landscape park, which was probably created in 1850 and today has a valuable stock of trees.

Unfortunately, Kropstädt Castle can no longer be reached. All access roads are either broken or blocked. Since the chateau was sold to its new owner, it has been unused, unheated and left to its own devices. That was sad to see. The park all around is fantastically beautiful and makes up for this disappointment.
