リンデナウの洞窟・トップ8

A true treasure, this park and the unfortunately dilapidated castle.

Always sad to see how many men have fallen in such small places.

It's always sad to see how many people died in the war.

Beautiful and well-kept park

Well-kept park with a 2 km long circular hiking trail, the castle is currently empty (2024) but has been sold to an investor. The park festival takes place here every year at Pentecost.

Beautifully situated, lots of rhododendrons and a great view over the castle pond to the castle!

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 landscape park is designed in the style of an English garden. With its valuable trees, the most impressive specimens of which are estimated to be around 170 years old, the hiking trails invite you to visit at any time of year. A special highlight here is the traditional park festival at Pentecost.
