To mark its 20th anniversary in 2013, the Elsterschloss-Gymnasium Support Association commissioned the creation and installation of an art installation on the grounds of the present-day Elsterschloss-Gymnasium. As part of the "Art at the Castle" project, a bronze casting model of Elsterschloss Elsterwerda was created. This model provides information about the former and current uses of the building complex, as well as its historical context throughout its existence, thus further enriching the castle's presence. https://www.elsterschloss.de/kunstobjekt.html

The Saxon post milestone stands near the Protestant town church of St. Catherine on the main street. This distance marker, dating from 1738, is considered an important piece of cultural heritage and a landmark that shapes the townscape. In August 2025, the approximately 4.60-meter-high column was dismantled for professional restoration. https://www.elsterwerda.de/kursaechsische-postmeilensaeule-erstrahlt-im-neuen-glanz/

The castle church that can be seen today in Lindenau is a massive fieldstone and brick building. The church is dated to 1668,[4] although it cannot be ruled out that remains or parts of an original predecessor building were also used in the construction. The castle itself was under the rule of the noble family von Minckwitz at that time. Loth Gotthard von Minkwitz (1611–1678)[5] had the predecessor building of today's moated castle built as early as 1584. The nave has a three-sided east end. In the west of the nave the building has a tower in the form of an octagonal roof turret with a tail cap, lantern and weather vane. In the north there is a lodge extension that was built in the 19th century or raised, which is used as a sacristy on the lower floor. An extension at this location can already be seen on a map from 1735. The interior of the church has a flat roof. It is characterized by pre-baroque furnishings. There is a gallery on the south side, as well as on the west, which here serves as an organ gallery. Patronage boxes can be found to the side of the chancel. The patronage box in the north is located above the sacristy. This was intended for the former tenants of the Lindenau estate. The two-storey patronage box on the south side served the Lindenau castle and estate owners. The castle church has an altarpiece, the inscription of which dates from 1670 and thus from the time of construction. In the middle of it is a crucified figure of Christ surrounded by four angels. The predella, main field and upper part of the altar are decorated with pious sayings. It is decorated on both sides with vine leaf columns. Wikipedia

The castle in Moritzburg served as a structural model for Großkmehlen. In 1540, a shared inheritance in the noble von Lüttichau family turned the Renaissance moated castle Großkmehlen into a two-part castle for centuries. Today the building is a unit again. It consists of the east and west buildings, two separate buildings that have been connected again since the 19th century through two small openings.
