I've driven through Audigast hundreds of times and finally found time to look behind the greenery beside the road. The moated castle with its enchanted park is completely surrounded by a moat and can be walked around on a path. Always beautiful views, especially in spring.

Audigast Castle originated as a moated castle, first mentioned in 1330 as a manor house under Otto Pincerna de Vdegoz. In 1472, the moated castle was recorded as a knight's estate, and in 1518 as an outlying farm.

During the turmoil of World War II, Audigast Castle suffered partial destruction in 1945. It stood empty for a long time and was in need of extensive renovation.

In 2015, the castle underwent a comprehensive renovation for residential use. The castle is now in excellent condition. sachsens-schloesser.de/groitzsch-wasserburg-schloss-audigast
