In 1626 Christian von Schellendorff had a palace built in the late Renaissance style on an island in the Tschirne (Czerna) with three storeys, a raised risalit and a tower tower. The main entrance with three arched portals was remarkably designed.
From 1682 the barons of Promnitz were the owners, who redesigned the palace in Baroque style in 1712 and had a west wing added in 1720. After several changes of ownership, the castle was among other things. owned by von Kospoth, von der Recke and von Holleben. From 1902 Friedrich Maximilian von Hochberg was the owner, who in 1905 had the castle redesigned according to a design by Robert Weber. The central tower was given an onion helmet, the facade was redesigned in neo-baroque style, a reinforced concrete vestibule was placed in front of the portal, and the west wing was given an annex to the ballroom.
Inspired by a trip to Asia, Friedrich Maximilian von Hochberg had the garden redesigned with several partial gardens. A Japanese garden with small watercourses and bridges between islets was laid out on an island in the Tschirne. From the castle to the west, the Chinese garden extends as a further partial garden, bounded by two backdrop-like clinker walls on a curved floor plan with round and oval window openings, which are intended to be reminiscent of Chinese moon gates. A path leads to the border of the garden, where a staircase and pagoda architecture crosses a street as a pedestrian bridge. Another area was the rose garden enclosed by an ornamental wall. From 1919 the von Alvensleben were the owners. Today the palace park has been extensively renovated. Source: Wikipedia Castle and castle park are accessible.
