The Baroque Delitzsch Palace is located in the northern Saxon town of Delitzsch and is one of the oldest palaces in northwestern Saxony. The building and adjacent garden area are integrated into the planned historic district, through which a main road runs south of the palace grounds. Consisting of a manor house, a small northwestern wing, and a larger northeastern wing, it was constructed and architecturally modified in several phases. Only the foundations of the original building, dating from the early 12th century, remain. Among the oldest surviving parts are two deep cellars and the tower, which the Margrave of Meissen, William I, had built starting in 1389. Built on the foundations of a Gothic moated castle, the complex served the Wettin dynasty as an administrative and travel residence from 1387 to 1540. Subsequently, the Dukes and Electors of Saxony had the castle converted into a Renaissance palace from 1540 to 1558 and lived there during their travels. The complex was last externally altered at the end of the 17th century, giving it its Baroque appearance. From then on, the Principality of Saxe-Merseburg used it as a widow's residence and a travel residence. After a phased restoration beginning in 1993, the Baroque Delitzsch Palace is now used as a museum, tourist information center, registry office, branch of the "Heinrich Schütz" District Music School of North Saxony, a concert hall, and a national event venue. This cultural monument is owned by the district town of Delitzsch. Source: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schloss_Delitzsch

Papitzer Lachen. These are shallow bodies of water that were once created by clay mining. After clay mining was stopped, there were plans to fill in the lakes to create farmland. But committed conservationists managed to prevent the lakes from being destroyed. They became a valuable habitat, especially for amphibians.

A landscape can't be much more mystical. The only thing missing was the spooky fog. 🤭

In summer it's a bit overgrown with blackberries and nettles. But it's still a nice place. The downhill part is very steep but it's really fun to ride. The uphill part is fun too.

Asphalted circular path unfortunately with many root damages

Nature reserve…swimming in the lake is prohibited
