☆ Small, inconspicuous castle with a castle park... no access from the outside. The only way to get to the park is through the building... unfortunately, everything was locked.

Thanks for the tip. 👍

Knauthain Castle is a castle in Knauthain, now a district of Leipzig, which stylistically belongs to the transition period from Renaissance to Baroque architecture. Above the entrance, the following inscription, set into a plaque made of Rochlitz porphyry, provides information in Latin about the castle's origins: The translation is: "Carl Hildebrand, Lord of Dieskau, by inheritance also Lord of Knauthain, Kleinzschocher and Cospuden, must be particularly praised before the world; he, who built this house and decorated it properly, was the founder of this property. Homage should be paid to him daily. May he live! May he be happy. May his ancestor not lose his strength. May he preserve his house, and may God always protect it too. In contrast to the castle, the park is open to the public.

The Dölitz manor was owned by the Leipzig merchant family von Winckler for almost 300 years. The castle was acquired, renovated and rebuilt in 1636 by Georg Winckler (1582–1654), a merchant in Leipzig and progenitor of the family. He was founded in 1650 by Emperor Ferdinand III. ennobled.[1] The family had extensive holdings in the area, including towns and manors. Later she is said to have been elevated to the status of barons of Schwendendorf via Johann Benedict Winckler.[2] The castle's gatehouse was built between 1670 and 1672 by Andreas von Winckler, a son of Georg Winckler. Architecturally, it marks the transition from the Saxon late Renaissance to the Saxon early Baroque. The palace building itself was a three-story-high, four-wing complex with an inner courtyard, which was overlooked by an octagonal roof turret with a baroque hood. The gatehouse was located on an island formed by two branches of the Pleißemühlgraben. Today only the eastern ditch remains. The entrance can be reached from the east via a wooden bridge. During the Battle of Leipzig, Dölitz Castle was a French headquarters and was heavily contested. Austrian troops tried several times to storm the facility, but were repelled by the French until they retreated unhindered on the night of October 18th to 19th, 1813. The gatehouse of the former Dölitz Castle is the last remaining building that played an important role in the Battle of the Nations. Former castle of the Dölitz manor The Dölitz manor was acquired by the city of Leipzig in 1929. During the Second World War, the castle was badly damaged in an air raid in 1944. That's why the main building was blown up and demolished in 1947. The still preserved manor barn fell victim to a fire in 1953. It was located right next to the gatehouse, which was saved from the fire. The building was still inhabited in the 1950s, but was rapidly falling into disrepair. In 1959, the GDR Institute for Monument Preservation began restoring the building. Traces of the Battle of Nations, such as cannonballs, also disappeared under the newly applied external plaster. However, part of it has been visible again since a recent renovation in the 1990s. Source: Wikipedia
