The so-called New Petershain Palace is located outside the town in the middle of a large park. The two-storey building was built between 1903 and 1905 for Kurt von Knorr according to plans by the imperial building councillor Fritz Ahrens. The palace, built in the neo-Renaissance style, rises above an irregular floor plan and is the centre of the former Petershain manor. The central building and the three wings adjoining it are decorated with decorative gables with rosettes, balcony exits, parapets, arcades and loggias as well as decorative half-timbering and bay windows. The building is dominated by a high square tower. Inside, there is a representative, wood-panelled entrance hall with a carved open staircase. In the social rooms, the original stucco ceilings, oak doors, radiator covers and built-in cupboards have been preserved. The ornaments on the stucco ceilings on the upper floor are reminiscent of the formal language of Art Nouveau. Many original details, such as sandstone reliefs with hunting motifs, leaded glass windows, wood paneling, glazed cupboards, faceted mirrors, Art Nouveau tiles and parquet floors have also been preserved in their original condition in this area. The German Foundation for Monument Protection sponsored the repair of the roof in 1999. In 2001, the foundation contributed financially to the renovation work on the tower, the west terrace and the winter garden as well as the sandstone facades.
