    The castle was built on the site of an old moated castle between 1555 and 1563.
    Dr. Hieronymus Kiesewetter. From 1829 it was owned by the Quandt family. Then it was bought by Friedrich Ludwig Leuschner in 1883.


    In the GDR it was part of a nationally owned estate, later a dormitory and agricultural school and part of the Dittersbach LPG plant production.

    After reunification, it was owned by the state capital Dresden from 1994 to 2004
    Today it is privately owned and inaccessible.
    The gatehouse dates from 1830.

    Much work is being done here to restore It. One can only hope that some parts of it will be made accessible to the public once the work is complete.
