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.

Great sight unfortunately often too

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/

The collegiate church, to which the twin towers belonged, is said to have been consecrated in 1172 in the presence of Frederick Barbarossa and Udo of Naumburg. The documents proving this, however, have proven to be forgeries.[1] The church was built in the Romanesque style from 1165 to 1172 out of bricks.[3] The wooden roof trusses of the towers date from 1336.[1] The collegiate church had a bad reputation among the reformers and was dissolved in 1543.[2] Just a few decades later, the nave had fallen into disrepair, but the west tower remained intact. In 1618, the north tower received its baroque roof.[2] The city took over the buildings after the monastery was dissolved and set up a school in them in 1665. 20 years later, the towers were converted into a prison and served as such for 200 years.[1] At the beginning of the 17th century, the nave was rebuilt and from 1669 to 1671[1] a widows' and orphans' home was set up in it. The building took on its current form in the 19th century: in 1810[1] it was rebuilt after a fire and in the middle of the century a half-timbered building was added. It was used as a prison and workhouse. The master builder Friedrich Sprenger carried out extensive repairs to the tower complex from 1871 to 1873[1] and removed some extensions. During the GDR era, a museum for medieval craftsmanship was located in the Red Tips until 1972. In June 2013, a permanent exhibition on the building opened, so that it can now be visited regularly again.
