The Cösitz manor (also Cösitz Castle or Cösitz Manor) In the year 750, there was already a Sorbian rampart on the site of today's manor, which was mentioned in documents in 839 when it was conquered by the Saxons. From 1370 to the middle of the 16th century, the complex was the ancestral seat of the Kositz family. After the plague of 1636 and pillage by Swedish troops in the Thirty Years' War, the village and the manor were desolate. In 1877, the rampart of the castle was demolished, which later enabled the construction of the east wing of the building. The building known today as the castle was built on behalf of Hubert Freiherr von dem Bussche-Lohe and his wife Jeannette von Wuthenau in 1891. The west wing was built in 1937, as was the English landscape park. The design for the new wing was drawn up by the retired senior building inspector and architect Hans Volkmann. The Baron had already had a small living space extension to the building planned by the man from Halle in 1933/34. It remained in the von dem Bussche family until it was put up for auction in 1945. In recent years, the manor has been renovated and apartments have been built.
In the landscape park there is still a beech tree with a trunk diameter of six meters and a crown of 38 meters, making it one of the thickest beech trees in Germany. Remnants of the ramparts up to five meters high have been preserved. Source: Wikipedia
