クヴィッツドルフアムゼーの洞窟・トップ10

Hidden away and somewhat secluded lies the moated castle, surrounded by Virginia creeper, which is said to be around 1,000 years old. The building looks like something out of a fairytale. At over 800 years old, Döbschütz Moated Castle is the oldest privately owned castle in Germany and is the ancestral home of the Debschitz noble family. Therefore, the grounds are fenced off. But that doesn't detract from the beauty of this seemingly enchanted place. Sylke Rößler and her partner Christian Niclas live together in one of the oldest buildings in Upper Lusatia. It has 650 square meters of living space and 24 rooms.

Surrounded by a landscaped park, the imposing Krobnitz Palace rises above the castle. Built around the mid-18th century by the von Üchtritz family, the baroque manor house was acquired in 1873 by the Prussian Minister of War and Field Marshal Albrecht Theodor Emil Graf von Roon. He had it converted into a neoclassical building by adding a mansard floor, with a flat roof and balustrade. He also expanded the park and created a family crypt in the rear section, which was consecrated in 1876. His son Waldemar added a neo-Gothic chapel to this crypt, which was demolished in 1980. After the von Roon family's property was expropriated after 1945, the palace served as accommodation for refugees and displaced persons. This elaborately reconstructed country estate is recommended for those seeking something unique. A wedding room in the Wilhelminian style and the ballroom in the Old Forge for about 100 people offer a tasteful setting for weddings.

A little gem off the main route Gebelzig Castle is a true gem – impressive, yet rarely overcrowded. The grounds date back to the 18th century and are lovingly maintained today. The view from the park side with its ancient trees is particularly beautiful. Tip: If you appreciate peace and quiet, you should take a half-hour walk around the castle – it's particularly atmospheric in the morning or late afternoon. It's also ideal for a small picnic on the lawn opposite.

Well-preserved castle surrounded by nature and a great starting point for a short hike through the forest.

Castle in Gebelzig. A well-maintained castle, it is now used as a primary school and daycare center.

The construction of the Gebelzig Castle dates back to the 14th century. Until the early 16th century, it served as a gathering point and refuge for Upper Lusatian robber barons. Today, the rooms house the Hohendubrau primary school, the day-care center and the kindergarten. The primary school was extensively renovated in 2012.
