A castle ruin worth a detour. Here you can take a short rest and learn interesting facts. The ruins date back to the 13th century and were built in the Romanesque style. Initial excavations took place from 1901 to 1908.

Built between 1211 and about 1230 as a hunting lodge for the Margraves of Meissen and the Ostmark.

The oldest part of the building, the Knights' Hall between the two mighty towers, which has been preserved as a ruin, dates from 1335. The lower parts date from the 13th to 14th centuries, the late Gothic cell vaults in the upper floors date from around 1530, the gable tops and roof turrets were added towards the end of the 16th century. In the 15th to 16th centuries the castle was rebuilt as a palace and the north wing was rebuilt in 1890 after a fire. The gatehouse to the front courtyard was built around 1560 and decorated with dormer windows and gables. The palace forms a closed square with late Gothic and Renaissance architectural forms, the wing on the Elbe side, built around 1530 for Otto Pflugk, has a late Gothic brick gable with tracery pattern, the stair towers in the courtyard have Renaissance gables. The cell-vaulted "drinking room" in the southwest tower was decorated with rich paintings in 1532, which are attributed to the circle around Lucas Cranach. The castle is surrounded by a spacious English landscape park with some old trees, which stretches down the mountainside to the Elbe. (https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schloss_Strehla)

Castle rune from the 13th century (castle, the rune is younger :) ). Nice place with a covered picnic area and some information boards.

Renaissance castle from the 17th century, headquarters of the Wermsdorf tourist information office, guided tours on request, registry office. The extensive game-rich Wermsdorf forests encouraged Elector Christian II to have the first hunting lodge built on the site of the old manor between 1607 and 1610. This was kept very simple and was therefore soon rebuilt and expanded in the style of the German Renaissance from 1617 to 1626 on the orders of Elector Johann Georg I. Builder Simon Hoffmann gave the castle its current shape. Three irregular wings form the courtyard, numerous gables effectively enliven the facades and a special decoration is a bay window with artistic sandstone work. An octagonal stair tower with a lantern and a curved hood separates the two main wings. From 1626 to 1628 the building served as an electoral hunting lodge. However, the turmoil of the 30 Years' War interrupted the actual purpose until 1685.

Great little inviting castle in the middle of town. With a beautiful tree in front of it.
