    Reinharz Castle and Castle Park
    Heinrich von Löser, Electorate of Saxony's hereditary marshal, had a representative moated castle with a baroque park, castle pond and brewery pond built between 1690 and 1701 in order to provide appropriate accommodation for the nobles during their hunts in the Düben Heath. Löser based the three-story, horseshoe-shaped building on the annual division: the facade is divided into 365 windows, and the castle has 52 doors and 12 rooms.
    The 68 m high tower was used as an observatory in the 18th century.
    Valuable scientific equipment was created in the mechanical-optical workshop, including telescopes, reflecting telescopes and sundials. 15 of these are on display in the Mathematical-Physical Salon of the Dresden Zwinger.
    The formally designed garden was probably completed in the first half of the 18th century under the direction of Hans von Löser.


    In 1837, the castle, including the farm buildings and park, was sold to the bourgeois Hertwig family, who had the park landscaped after 1850. The northern embroidery parterre with the strictly axial path system was removed. In addition, a connected meadow area, the "castle meadow", was created with many, sometimes rare, individual trees and groups of trees. Today, they characterize the striking old trees. In the southern section of the park, the main path system has largely been preserved.
    Between 1947 and 1990, the castle and park were used as a spa complex.
    The complex has been privately owned since 1998.

      The castle was built between 1690 and 1701 in the Baroque style. The castle's 68-meter-high tower is a striking feature and can be seen from far away.

        - Built in the 16th century
        - 1690–1701 construction of the baroque building
        - 1748 raising of the tower


        Baroque two-and-a-half-storey moated castle, simple building divided by two wings, eight-storey octagonal staircase tower visible from afar, two rococo halls with 18th century paintings preserved, in the western hall: wall tiles from Harlingen and Rotterdam coordinated with the rococo paneling
        The Saxon State Minister Hans von Löser had the castle tower raised to a height of 68 m in 1748 for his astronomical observations.


        In 1998 the complex was privatized. The former nursery was converted into hotel apartments, and the Graf Löser Café was opened. Part of the farm buildings and the castle grounds were taken over and renovated in 1999 for use for non-profit artistic and cultural purposes. Two exhibition halls, artists' studios, a specialist library for fine arts, a sculpture park and a documentation center with editorial office have been created. ☺️👍🏻
