The moated castle is the remaining gatehouse of the old Renaissance moated castle right next to the new castle, a moated castle, probably built between 1200 and 1250, first mentioned in 1383 as a knight's seat, owned by Nicolaus diclus de Warnsdorf in 1392, rebuilt in the Renaissance style by Christoph v. Nostitz in 1564. The "old castle" was largely demolished around 1780 and the remains used to build the new castle.
The moated castle is now privately owned and has been lovingly restored. On Open Monument Day, the owners occasionally allow glimpses. The gatehouse is beautifully reflected in the water.

In the corner plot of Kleine Seite/Weinberg, to the right below the baroque castle complex, there was originally a knight's seat (Hainewalde documents), which was surrounded by a protective moat. The old moated castle was replaced in 1564 by Hans Ulrich von Nostitz with a Renaissance castle, the so-called Old Castle. This was a four-winged complex that enclosed an inner courtyard. The facade was richly decorated with illusionistic decorations (sgraffito technique).
Demolition of the Old Castle: 1780, only the wing of the gatehouse remained and was used as a courthouse and prison until 1857. It is now privately owned (not open to the public). Above the portal: the coat of arms of Nostitz.
