The old prison may be small, but it's truly worth seeing. The many explanations inside about the history of the High Middle Ages and the way the nobility treated their subjects at that time make us smile today, but back then they were probably a plague for the poor. The old prison was built in 1774 as Rammenau's second school. Around 1800, up to 200 children were enrolled. The name "old prison" originated in popular parlance because the Rammenau guard, who was responsible for enforcing village ordinances during his nightly patrols, occasionally locked up drunkards and lawbreakers here at night. Between 1920 and 1930, the people of Rammenau called the building "Dog Hole"! A skeleton has been placed on the stairs leading down to the prison as a decorative element.

An explanatory plaque on the Rammenau Manor District boundary stone explains that the Rammenau Manor District was independent until 1927. Such boundary stones were erected by the Royal Saxon government in 1835 and 1835. This boundary stone was discovered in 1975 while feasting in the upper pond. It was only restored by the local history society in 2006 and placed in its original location.

The church was built after 1450 outside the city wall over an old Spree crossing. According to legend, it was a token of gratitude from the citizens for saving the city from the Hussite attack of 1429, attributed to Archangel Michael. The vault, with its paintings, which are still largely preserved in their original form, was completed in 1498. Since 1619, the church has served as a place of worship for the townspeople surrounding Bautzen. It was often damaged in various wars but never destroyed. After several reconstructions, the late Gothic hall church, with its sparse furnishings, has been restored to its former glory. See: https://st-michael-bautzen.de/die-michaeliskirche/

The Wendish Tower, or Serbska wěža in Sorbian, is part of Bautzen's medieval city fortifications. It is located on the northeastern edge of the old town and is now structurally connected to Gottfried Semper's Old Barracks (Stara kaserna). For centuries, the Via Regia ran through the adjacent Wendish Gate, which no longer exists. See: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wendischer_Turm

The castle, its park and the surrounding ponds form a wonderful ensemble.

Unfortunately you can only see it from the outside, but very beautiful

A beautiful place to sit and relax and watch the hustle and bustle of the pond's animals.

Today's Old Prison was once a school, built in 1774. Historical furnishings can be seen in a small schoolroom. Annually changing exhibitions on the history of the village and its surroundings are held on the upper floor from Easter to October. Due to a lack of space, a new school had to be built just under 100 years later, which already had 245 children enrolled in 1851. The old school, no longer needed, served as a place for the Rammenau night watchman to let drunkards sleep off their drunkenness.
