"Today's castle was built by Captain Christoph Dietrich von Plötz in 1786. The estate and castle were owned by the Saxon royal family from 1824 to 1945. Due to the effects of the war, expropriation in the course of the land reform in 1945 and the subsequent mismanagement under the legal form of a state-owned property The buildings were run down, partly badly damaged and in a desolate condition. The castle had been empty since 1980. In 1994/1995 the German Foundation for Monument Protection financially supported the emergency security of the building and initiated a grant from the Free State of Saxony in the amount of 160,000 marks In 2002 the manor was auctioned by the "Lebenstraum" community. "
"Within ten years, the smaller part of the building was restored while preserving the preservation of the monument protection in order to set up apartments, common rooms, studios and workshops." - de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schloss_JahnishausenThe castle itself is therefore not accessible. But the very beautiful castle park with various niches and monuments that invite you to explore.
