Räckelwitz was first mentioned in 1280 as Rokolewicz. Since 1304 there was a manor here. In 1719/20 Jacob Eckart von Wobeser auf Räckelwitz was appointed governor of Upper Lusatia.[4] His daughter Eleonore Charlotte (1737-1772) married Friedrich Albrecht von Götz (1728-1780). Her son Ludwig Eckard von Götz (1765–1815)[5] sold the "Erb-, Kunkel- und Spillehngut" (an estate that could be inherited by women) Räckelwitz to Philippina Countess von Bolza, the daughter of Privy Councilor Joseph von Bolza , who married Count Stolberg.[6]

The present mansion of Räckelwitz Castle was built around 1750 and in 1784 came into the possession of the Counts of Stolberg. The last owner of this estate, Countess Monika zu Stolberg, a nun in Belgium, had the castle chapel built between 1883 and 1885 and bequeathed the manor to the Order of Malta.[7] In the period from 1903 to 2000, a Catholic hospital of this order was located in the former manor house. After the restoration of the building, since 2008 there has been a large outpatient nursing service of the Maltese and until 2016 a nuns' convent of the Sisters of Providence with a chapel.
