    Great manor - unfortunately, like many others - neglected in the last decades - but now thank God again inhabited or in good hands.

    When you enter the small park you can see many beautiful gnarled trees and a water-filled ditch (eigtl. 2 - left and right of the bridge). A fountain at the front and a big meadow in the middle.

    Around the small pond were lovingly set early flowering and other plant.

    If you go further you come to a residential area - from here it is not so far to the nearby restaurant.

      Still baroque property, manor house probably built under Augustus the Strong, complex architecturally, historically and artistically significant" - de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liste_der_Kulturdenkmale_in_G%C3%B6nnsdorf

        The manor house in Gönnsdorf near Dresden is the only remaining building of the former Gönnsdorf manor. It was built towards the end of the 17th century from an outwork that was already mentioned in 1606. The estate belonged to Burg Helfenberg for a long time and was owned by the Dehn-Rothfelser family. It later passed into the hands of the Hoë von Hoënegg family and then the von Döring family.

        From 1721 to 1756, the Imperial Countess Agnes von Manteuffel lived on the manor and had the park laid out. However, during their time, the park fell into disrepair due to neglect and the effects of war. After several changes of ownership, including the Hendel family in the 19th century and Dr. Weinhold around 1860, the Gönnsdorf estate came into the possession of the Wettins in 1878.

        In 1933, the manor house was used by a Hitler Youth leadership school, which required alterations to suit the needs. After reunification, the gradual renovation of the park with a pond began. The manor house was inhabited until a few years ago and has been privately owned since 2005.

        The manor house is currently empty and in need of extensive renovation. Some sculptures are displayed in the park and the baroque fountain has been restored. The pond is a habitat for ducks.
