キツシャーの洞窟・トップ15

街の北西端、ヴィーラ川を見下ろす高台に建つフロウブルク城は、16世紀に城の跡地に建てられました。重厚でシンプルな4翼の建物は、初期ルネサンス時代の封建的な邸宅の典型です。 中世の城の外観については、推測することしかできません。ルネサンス様式の城が上にかぶさっているため、以前の城の確かなイメージを得ることは不可能です。城の建物は、城の痕跡をすべて取り除いてしまいました。唯一、拍車のような立地と、現在も不規則な城の形状が、以前の建設状況を示唆しています。1945年まで、フロウブルクは約1,000ヘクタールの広さを誇り、ザクセン州最大の騎士領の一つでした。1945年以降、市が城を所有することになりました。1917年に設立された博物館は、1974年から城内にあり、この地域で有名な陶芸家クルト・フォイエリゲルの約8,000点の作品と、歴史的なおもちゃのコレクションを常設展示しています。

Frohburg Castle and Castle Park. Information: A castle complex built around 1200. Expanded and renovated over time, it became a stately castle. Today it houses the city museum.

Gatehouse, former Benndorf Manor and castle park. Information: The two-story gatehouse features an arched gateway built in the 18th century in typical Baroque style. The manor house was demolished in 1958, and the outbuildings have been renovated. The grounds of the manor are accessible, but the buildings themselves are not open to the public. Remnants of the park remain.

Thanks for the tip. 👍

The castle is now used as a daycare center for primary school children. Since 2017, it has also been possible to get married in the castle. The Naunhof registry office offers weddings here. Also part of the castle on the upper floor is the Belgershain youth center, which warmly welcomes children.

Belgershain Castle is a castle in the municipality of Belgershain that was built from a medieval castle complex. The castle was owned by various noble families until 1945 and today serves as the town's cultural center

The first manor house was mentioned as early as 1233. This was probably already a moated castle, which, as the predecessor of the later castle, consisted of a fortified courtyard and a surrounding water-bearing moat. There were many changes of ownership. The von Bresen family is known to have owned the castle for a longer period between 1420 and 1485, and the von Pöllnitz family between 1688 and 1793. Under this family, the castle, which had previously burned down in 1713, was rebuilt in 1721. Under Melchior von Kreutzen, it was converted into a manor as early as 1549. In 1940, a prisoner of war camp was set up in the Benndorf manor. After the castle was expropriated in 1945, it served as accommodation for refugees. In 1950 (another source: 1958), the castle was demolished. The gatehouse and some of the outbuildings are still preserved. Source:https://sachsens-schloesser.de/frohburg-wasserburg-schloss-benndorf/
