Horstsee is one of the Wermsdorf ponds

Schleinitz Castle. Info: Former late Gothic moated castle in the Renaissance style. 16th century, with a valuable late Gothic castle chapel, memorial column, etc. Since 1781, a stone bridge has led over the former moat and two side staircases, on both sides of the castle side, lead down into the moat. Major reconstruction work took place in 1905. 1518 (castle chapel). 18th century (courthouse).

The castle and the beautiful village square in front of it are definitely worth a visit.

Together with the Döllnitzsee and Göttwitzsee dams, it is part of the large Wermsdorf ponds. The Horstsee is the oldest of these facilities. The name of the dam comes from a striking island in the middle of the pond, which was previously called "Horst". Even today, the Horstsee is mainly used for fishing. It was created as a fish pond in 1500 and has been state-owned since 1580. The dam has two earthen dams. The Saubach, a second order water body, is dammed. The dam's storage volume is around 1.4 million cubic meters. Source:https://www.wasserwirtschaft.sachsen.de/TS_Horstsee.html
