The Kropstädt Castle in Kropstädt, a district of Lutherstadt Wittenberg, was built between 1855 and 1856 by the then owner Friedrich Adolf Karl von Leipziger according to plans by the Berlin architect Friedrich Hitzig in the English-neo-Gothic style.

The Liesnitz moated castle stood on the site of today's castle as early as 1150. This was stormed and destroyed by citizens of Wittenberg in 1358. In 1567 the castle was rebuilt by Moritz von Thümen. The old castle was demolished in 1842.

In 1945 the owners of the castle were expropriated. The castle served as a children's home in the GDR. After the fall of the Wall, the castle was privatized again and was used as a hotel after 2001. The hotel is currently inactive.

Kropstädt Castle is a two-storey, plastered brick building on a basement with two unequal projections, which is essentially late classical. There are arbors on the narrow sides and towards the manor.

The castle is surrounded by a ten hectare landscaped park.

In the meantime bought by an investor and unused and vacant ... a shame because it is in relatively good condition.
