Unfortunately, the castle is privately owned, so access is not possible. The gate was open, but a lock screen alerted me to private property. The site is also so well managed that a lot of greenery does not allow a view of the house, and not much can be seen from the pond below either.

The building was first mentioned in a document in 1213 together with the village of the same name. Weißenborn was given to the Freiberg family von Hartitzsch as a fief in 1365, and it remained in their possession until 1802. The castle was built probably in the 14th century. Weissenborn was also not spared from wars, looting and the plague.

In 1802, Alexander von Hartitzsch sold the castle and manor to Christoph Schubert, who passed both on to a cavalry master from Weißenbach. Colonel Freiherr von Wangenheim acquired the manor from Count Hohenthal-Püchau in 1882 and kept it until 1924. In 1931, Dr. Otto Fritz new owner of the manor and expropriated in 1945. During the GDR era there was a culture house in the premises. Weissenborn Castle has been privately owned again since 2010. (Source: de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schloss_Wei%C3%9Fenborn)
