The foundation stone of the castle was in 1663. Since 1947, the castle was used as a home, later for the GDR as a home for allegedly difficult to bring up children. Today it is a normal home for children and teenagers who are integrated with the village.
Beautiful castle, a bit off the Elbradweg.

The foundation stone for the castle in what was then the Wartenburg manor was laid in 1663. Baron von Hohenthal bought it in 1769. During the wars of liberation, the place became known through the battle of Wartenburg on October 3, 1813, during which an army corps of the Prussian Field Marshal Blücher forced Napoleon's army to clear the crossing over the Elbe. This was the prerequisite for the later victory of the allied troops over Napoleon in the Battle of Leipzig. Wartenburg Castle was the headquarters of the allies for three days in early October 1813. Here u. a. Field Marshal Blücher, Generals Gneisenau and York and Crown Prince Wilhelm of Prussia.
