History of Gnandstein Castle

Members of the von Schladebach family, servants of ministerial rank to Theodoric the Oppressed, founded the castle around 1200. In the early 15th century, it became the property of the von Einsiedel family to remain in their succeeding generations’ uninterrupted ownership until 1945. The von Einsiedels extended the property by a new residential wing and a castle chapel, whose late medieval furnishings can still be admired today.

Tips for trips

The Gardens of Kings

Take a walk in Saxony’s most beautiful gardens, allow to be inebriated by their scents, experience unexpected views and gain undreamt-of insights. Relax in the spacious gardens or stroll in sunshine, accompanied by the splashing of fountains. And take a piece of Schloesserland home with you: a flower bed brick from Bad Muskau, a camellia shoot from Pillnitz, summer flowers or an Azalea from Weesenstein can all be purchased in those places.
