    Hedrich column with golden Victoria figure
    In 1884, the owner of the castle mill, Carl Hedrich, erected a memorial column with a water cascade in honor of Count Richard Clemens von Schönburg-Glauchau. It was also intended as a memorial to the Counts of Schönburg, which was expressed by the plaque on the base. The column was a special type of fountain. The water splashed down over the edge of the raised bowl. The impressive spectacle of the waterfall was an attraction not only for the town's citizens, but also attracted visitors.
