Elbe view with ferry in Strehla

The three flags on the bank of the ferry draw attention to a world-historical moment. The first encounter between the Allies took place on this bank in front of Lorenzkirch on April 25, 1945. You can take the ferry “Nixe” to Lorenzkirch. The other bank of the Elbe can be reached in less than 3 minutes. On the other side of the Elbe near Lorenzkirch, display boards tell of the terrible events shortly before the end of the war. Three days before the Allies arrived, thousands of refugees who wanted to flee across the Elbe at the last minute got caught between the fronts on the meadows. Hundreds of civilians, including women and children, died on land and in the water.

Renaissance castle from the 17th century, headquarters of the Wermsdorf tourist information office, guided tours on request, registry office. The extensive game-rich Wermsdorf forests encouraged Elector Christian II to have the first hunting lodge built on the site of the old manor between 1607 and 1610. This was kept very simple and was therefore soon rebuilt and expanded in the style of the German Renaissance from 1617 to 1626 on the orders of Elector Johann Georg I. Builder Simon Hoffmann gave the castle its current shape. Three irregular wings form the courtyard, numerous gables effectively enliven the facades and a special decoration is a bay window with artistic sandstone work. An octagonal stair tower with a lantern and a curved hood separates the two main wings. From 1626 to 1628 the building served as an electoral hunting lodge. However, the turmoil of the 30 Years' War interrupted the actual purpose until 1685.

When the weather is nice, you have a very wide view (among other things, you can see the Monument to the Battle of the Nations in Leipzig). To get to the tower, you have to overcome 102 steps.

Here you are standing in front of the Wermsdorf hunting lodge, which was built by Elector Christian II in the 17th century. His successor Johann Georg I then gave the castle its final appearance, which you can still admire today, in accordance with the spirit of the Renaissance.
