    Like almost all Saxon castles and manors, Struppen Castle was subject to frequent changes of ownership. In 1420 Heinrich von Reichenbach and Friedrich von Rottwerndorf are enfeoffed with the property. From 1473 the owner changed several times until Walter von Bernstein was enfeoffed in 1541. The relief on the front of the castle, which shows a bear, may come from this period. Later Johann Adolf von Rayski owned the castle.

      There are good signs that the castle is now being restored. 🙂🏰

        There are detailed descriptions of Kleinstruppen Castle with its long history on the following web links. Today the buildings - with the exception of the commander's house, which is used as a school - are empty. The municipality of Struppen is looking for a viable usage concept. A start has been made with the entry of the "Arts and Crafts Forum Schloss Struppen" e.V.
