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

The Ludwigsee was the oldest coal mine in the Goitzsche. By the time of reunification in 1990, it had already been mined out and a small lake had been created. The groundwater, which rose until 2007, caused the lake to grow to over 100 hectares. The Ludwigsee was initially fenced off for many years because its steep banks and unrehabilitated slopes were prone to landslides. After the final water level was reached, the dangerous steep edges were secured by blasting and the fence could be dismantled. The gradual development of the bank area can be clearly observed here.

The Cösitz manor (also Cösitz Castle or Cösitz Manor) In the year 750, there was already a Sorbian rampart on the site of today's manor, which was mentioned in documents in 839 when it was conquered by the Saxons. From 1370 to the middle of the 16th century, the complex was the ancestral seat of the Kositz family. After the plague of 1636 and pillage by Swedish troops in the Thirty Years' War, the village and the manor were desolate. In 1877, the rampart of the castle was demolished, which later enabled the construction of the east wing of the building. The building known today as the castle was built on behalf of Hubert Freiherr von dem Bussche-Lohe and his wife Jeannette von Wuthenau in 1891. The west wing was built in 1937, as was the English landscape park. The design for the new wing was drawn up by the retired senior building inspector and architect Hans Volkmann. The Baron had already had a small living space extension to the building planned by the man from Halle in 1933/34. It remained in the von dem Bussche family until it was put up for auction in 1945. In recent years, the manor has been renovated and apartments have been built. In the landscape park there is still a beech tree with a trunk diameter of six meters and a crown of 38 meters, making it one of the thickest beech trees in Germany. Remnants of the ramparts up to five meters high have been preserved. Source: Wikipedia
