Niederruppersdorf Castle is an 18th-century moated castle built on the ruins of a medieval moated castle that had burned down. In the same year, the present castle was erected on the site by Johann Heinrich Gottlob von Nostitz, canon and senior member of the Prince-Bishopric of Meissen, according to plans by Johann Andreas Hünigen. Architecturally, it is a massive, simple structure built on high, square foundations with buttresses supporting the cellar. The two residential floors are crowned by a three-story mansard roof. The portal on the south side is reached via a double-arched bridge over the former moat and is decorated with the coats of arms of the Nostitz and Minckwitz families. Inside, the ceilings of the upstairs hall and the fireplaces are adorned with Rococo ornaments.

Beautiful looking point with beautiful view over the landscape

A beautiful panorama over the Lusatian and Zittau Mountains.

Currently cordoned off with construction fences, presumably due to damage.

Quite tricky due to the lack of bark...

Often used by the children in the facilities.

Some damage from the weather is already visible on the sculptures. They are heavily overgrown, which makes the individual figures stand out better.

Due to the use of the Christian Mission Society, the building cannot be visited and the grounds can only be crossed on the main path.
