    Beautiful grounds around the castle.

      Apparently, both the Renaissance castle and the Baroque castle exist in the neighborhood.
      The Baroque Castle Königshain
      The naturalist Carl Adolph Gottlob von Schachmann built a French-style Baroque castle near the Königshain Renaissance castle between 1764 and 1766. After the researcher's death, the entire property passed to Carl Heinrich von Heynitz, a nephew of Schachmann. The family owned the estate until 1945. Towards the end of the Second World War, Königshain Castle served as the main medical station. To this day, two cemeteries in the castle park remind us of this time.


      Today, the castle is used for cultural purposes, weddings and changing exhibitions, as well as music events, take place. The castle complex is also used for events of various kinds, with annual antique markets, sagas and other village festivals taking place in the beautiful old castle park. [Source: Ostsachsen.de]
