The castle is located in the center of the village not far from the church.

It was built from 1660 to 1670 on the site of a hunting lodge of the Wettin electors. Until 1880 it was the center of the hunting and summer residence of the Dukes of Saxe-Altenburg.

Originally a late-medieval hunting lodge of the Wettin electors, multi-part plain building group, round tower and neo-Gothic portal on the north side of the main building.

Park

The palace park was created from 1830 onwards from the former Hetzgarten, a hunting estate of the dukes of Saxony-Gotha-Altenburg. Influenced by Eduard Petzold, it is a landscape park of the second half of the 19th century and bears witness to German garden art in the late landscape style.

The Old Hunting Lodge was rebuilt into a "residential castle" suitable for the elderly from 2007 onwards. A tour of the interior is only possible after consultation with the owner.
