The old prison may be small, but it's truly worth seeing. The many explanations inside about the history of the High Middle Ages and the way the nobility treated their subjects at that time make us smile today, but back then they were probably a plague for the poor. The old prison was built in 1774 as Rammenau's second school. Around 1800, up to 200 children were enrolled. The name "old prison" originated in popular parlance because the Rammenau guard, who was responsible for enforcing village ordinances during his nightly patrols, occasionally locked up drunkards and lawbreakers here at night. Between 1920 and 1930, the people of Rammenau called the building "Dog Hole"! A skeleton has been placed on the stairs leading down to the prison as a decorative element.

An explanatory plaque on the Rammenau Manor District boundary stone explains that the Rammenau Manor District was independent until 1927. Such boundary stones were erected by the Royal Saxon government in 1835 and 1835. This boundary stone was discovered in 1975 while feasting in the upper pond. It was only restored by the local history society in 2006 and placed in its original location.

The castle, its park and the surrounding ponds form a wonderful ensemble.

Beautiful view

A beautiful place to sit and relax and watch the hustle and bustle of the pond's animals.

Today's Old Prison was once a school, built in 1774. Historical furnishings can be seen in a small schoolroom. Annually changing exhibitions on the history of the village and its surroundings are held on the upper floor from Easter to October. Due to a lack of space, a new school had to be built just under 100 years later, which already had 245 children enrolled in 1851. The old school, no longer needed, served as a place for the Rammenau night watchman to let drunkards sleep off their drunkenness.

Brettteich lake, right near the castle, offers several seating areas for picnics in the open air. The quaint café "Zur Fichte 15" with its homemade cakes is also highly recommended.
