Schloss Kannawurf and Renaissance Herb Garden

The castle has been painstakingly renovated by an association since 2007.

In 1564, Georg II Vitzthum von Eckstedt built the Renaissance castle Kannawurf on the estate, which had been in the family since 1539; there were also three other manors in the village. Inscriptions on doors and windows date from between 1563 and 1565. Instead of a medieval moated castle, a three-wing complex was built around an almost square inner courtyard by around 1570, the fourth side of which is closed off by a shield wall with a central round tower. A row of dormer windows decorates the roof. With this form of the so-called castle type, Georg II Vitzthum cited the construction of the new Dresden residential palace of Elector Moritz of Saxony, in whose service he was a marshal, which began around 1547.Owned by the Thuringian Monument Preservation Center and the Thuringian Artists' House since 2007, the partially renovated castle is now used for cultural events.Source: Wikipedia
