The Baroque Delitzsch Palace is located in the northern Saxon town of Delitzsch and is one of the oldest palaces in northwestern Saxony. The building and adjacent garden area are integrated into the planned historic district, through which a main road runs south of the palace grounds. Consisting of a manor house, a small northwestern wing, and a larger northeastern wing, it was constructed and architecturally modified in several phases. Only the foundations of the original building, dating from the early 12th century, remain. Among the oldest surviving parts are two deep cellars and the tower, which the Margrave of Meissen, William I, had built starting in 1389. Built on the foundations of a Gothic moated castle, the complex served the Wettin dynasty as an administrative and travel residence from 1387 to 1540. Subsequently, the Dukes and Electors of Saxony had the castle converted into a Renaissance palace from 1540 to 1558 and lived there during their travels. The complex was last externally altered at the end of the 17th century, giving it its Baroque appearance. From then on, the Principality of Saxe-Merseburg used it as a widow's residence and a travel residence. After a phased restoration beginning in 1993, the Baroque Delitzsch Palace is now used as a museum, tourist information center, registry office, branch of the "Heinrich Schütz" District Music School of North Saxony, a concert hall, and a national event venue. This cultural monument is owned by the district town of Delitzsch. Source: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schloss_Delitzsch

Dear Softeisdiele

☆ Nice destination

Archaeological traces in the urban area indicate a rural settlement in the Neolithic period. Delitzsch was probably first mentioned in 1207. In the 17th/18th In the 19th century the city was the seat of widows and travelers of the Duchy of Saxe-Merseburg. The well-preserved old town, which is characterized by various architectural eras, with the Baroque palace, the town fortifications, its squares, town and patrician houses and town towers (Wikipedia), is a testament to the prosperity in the late Middle Ages and the early modern period.

The castle is the real highlight in Delitzsch. It is well restored from the outside and houses a museum inside.
