Snowdrop Meadows in Schlosspark Uebigau

The former manor house, designed like a castle, is around 150 years old. The neo-baroque style with elements of Art Nouveau goes back to older predecessor buildings.
The castle has a two-hectare park with a pond, which was laid out in the 19th century. The park is particularly impressive in late winter: thousands of snowdrops announce the approaching spring.

Perennial gardener Klaus Peter Manig planted the first snowdrops in the park 15 years ago. Thousands are now blooming in the meadows. Snowdrops were sent to Uebigau from many European countries.

The structural ensemble of the former manor with bowling alley, guest house, coach house has been thoroughly renovated. In the former neo-baroque mansion there is now the castle hostel, which is adjoined to the east by the so-called castle park.1495 owned by von der Drössel, later Kress von Kressenstein 1717 again owned by the Dressels. The owners and building history are only partially preserved. At the beginning of the 19th century a new building replaces the former manor building, then in 1854 a beer brewery on the property, rebuilt in 1868 and in 1904 to the current design by Bock von Wülfingen.
