Very bizarre castle park, with many stones and monoliths, white deer and a bit too much esoteric

It's good that the old building is still used as a nursing home.

is located directly on the hiking trail, is now used as a senior citizens' home

Pretty castle with a beautiful park. Now used as a retirement home.

It's worth a detour if you're passing by here anyway.

Ruins of a hilltop castle at 275 m above sea level. NN on a granite cone surrounded by the Spree. The name Körse refers to the Sorbian origin. From the 10th century onwards, the rocky spur was used to build a fortification, a redoubt, as the Sorbian settlement area was extended to the region of today's Kirschau. The purpose of the rampart was to protect the settlement area from unexpected attacks. Occupied and destroyed around 1100, a stone German fortification was built on the same site between 1200 and 1250 At that time, the castle was the largest and strongest defensive structure in Upper Lusatia. Their task was to protect the Bohemian Trail, one of the oldest traffic connections between Upper Lusatia and Bohemia (known there as Alte Prager Straße). It led from Bautzen via Obergurig, Kirschau, Schirgiswalde and Sohland to Sderchluckenau (Šluknov), Bohemian Leipa (Česká Lípa) and Prague. In addition, a salt road crossed nearby, which also had to be guarded. Later, however, the lords of the castle were accused of robbery, so that in 1352 the castle was stormed and destroyed by troops from the League of Six Towns. An information board in the remains of today's complex claims that the lords of the castle were declared enemies more because of their opposition to the Bohemian king and the League of Six Towns. In 1359 the castle was again destroyed and razed. There was no reconstruction. Source: Wikipedia

Kittlitz was probably the site of a Slavic fortification as early as the 10th century. In the course of the German settlement of Upper Lusatia, a burgward was set up here, which developed into the political and economic center of the area. In the 12th century, a fortified courtyard was built as the core of a small moated castle east of what is now Weißenberger Straße. West of it, roughly where the castle is today, was the Niederkittlitz Manor. Until 1368, the owners of both estates were the Lords of Kittlitz, who are considered to be the oldest noble family in Upper Lusatia and had various tax privileges and their own supreme jurisdiction. In the middle of the 14th century, control of these manors passed to the Nostitz family and the von Gussigk family. At times, both manors were owned by Johann von Gussigk before they were divided again into Oberkittlitz and Niederkittlitz in 1527. Until 1704 (Oberkittlitz) and 1750 (Niederkittlitz), these belonged to the von Gersdorff family, but were then sold to Karl Gotthelf von Hund and Altengrotkau. With this sale, the manor finally shifted to the Niederkittlitz manor. The new owners had the existing manor house remodeled to suit their needs and made Kittlitz Castle into a center of Freemasonry. Karl Gotthelf von Hund and Altengrotkau was one of the leading German Freemasons and from 1743 he was Templar and Army Master of the province of Lower Germany, later head of all German Freemason lodges. Financial reasons forced him to sell his Kittlitz property in 1769. The purchaser was Countess Helena Isabella di Salmour, née Countess Lubieńska, who had had to sell the Zabeltitz manor to the House of Wettin the year before. At the same time, she also acquired the neighboring Undignity Castle. She was the widow of Count Giuseppe Antonio Gabaleone di Salmour from Piedmont, who had received Zabeltitz from his uncle Count Joseph Anton Gabaleon von Wackerbarth-Salmour as a wedding present. Owners changed again in the 19th century. In 1878 the owner E. F. W. Fickler had the palace park laid out. In 1909 Hugo Freiherr von Salza und Lichtenau acquired the manor.
