The abandoned settlement of Königsmühle (Königův Mlýn) is only one and a half kilometers from the village of Háj (Stolzenhain), but is shielded by a hill between them. Until their expulsion in the fall of 1946, 57 Sudeten Germans lived here in six houses, five of which were used as homes for the Fohrmann, Siegel, Giebert, Pöschl, and Siegel families. The sixth building was the mill. Grain from Bohemia was milled in Königsmühle, and the flour was then transported further to Saxony. This trade route (also for ore and timber) has sunk into the landscape about three meters deep due to centuries of heavy wagon traffic. After the end of the war, the ethnic German population was expelled from Czechoslovakia; approximately three million people were forced to flee, and around 3,000 communities, villages, and hamlets disappeared. Königsmühle is one of the few sites that can serve as a memorial to this aftermath of World War II. At the initiative of Czech cultural scientist and photographer Petr Mikšíček, the DoKrajin association has conserved the remains of the buildings, created informative display panels, and decorated the grounds with land art. The decline of Königsmühle has been halted, and the memory of its former residents is now kept alive.

A very beautiful building, which is probably currently being renovated

...from 1976 to 1990 the house was used as a holiday home for the Central Council of the FDJ.

Mentioned as the former Streckewalde manor as early as 1500, it had no representative building until 1826. After it was taken over by the Berlin merchant, Commercial Councillor Arthur Schmidt, died in 1932, further buildings were added. In 1910 the old houses were demolished and replaced by a castle-like villa in Art Nouveau style. It was later to be used as a summer retreat. In 1932, the daughter Wendula and her husband took over the property. In 1935 the building was renamed "Hohenwendel" after the owner. A stud farm was built below the castle, which was used for horse breeding during the First World War. After the Second World War, the owners of the castle were expropriated. In the early 1950s the building served as a party school, from 1957 as a pioneer leader school and from 1962 as the "House of the Young Pioneers". In the early 1970s the castle was used as a training center for the FDJ....

The moated castle is also known as Hofwall and was probably built in the middle of the 12th century around 1162 to protect the road that passed by. The castle was destroyed during a Hussite invasion. Only the 14 m high tower, which is still preserved today, was preserved. It once had wooden structures and extensions. The moated castle served as a mansion for Leonhard and Nickel von Tannenberg around 1420. Parts of a broken bell were found in the remains of the castle complex in 1770, suggesting that the castle may have had its own chapel. In 1995 and 1996, conservation measures were carried out on the listed Passklausen Tower. The former water-bearing ditch has been preserved except for a section that was filled in in the northern area. The facility was placed under monument protection at the end of 1959.

This castle, which dates back to the 14th century, is located directly at the confluence of the Zschopau and Roter Pfütze rivers. Today, a support association takes care of the administration of the buildings and the attached museum. In the idyllic castle park you can discover over 30 different tree species.
