The place arose around the manor of the same name and was first mentioned in 1362 as "Odalitz" in the church book of Blumberg . At that time, the Marienstern monastery in Mühlberg received 2 hooves in Adelwitz as a gift and bought the money and grain interest. In 1568, the Meißner Bishop Johann IX. von Haugwitz gave his relative Christoph von Haugwitz three taxable farmers in Adelwitz with the option of setting up a manor or farm there. From 1602 these three farmers and their estates were under the control of the von Holtzendorff family .

The owners of the manor established in the course of the 17th century, in which today u. a. a hotel & restaurant and a riding school came from the von Hartitzsch , von Metzsch , Marschall von Bieberstein , Klotzsch, Neubaur and Nette families . The respective landowners had to sludge and clean the so-called Landgraben as far as it touched their corridors. The site and manor suffered severe damage during the Thirty Years' War when the Swedish general Johan Banér burned the property down.

To 1815 Adelwitz belonged to the Office Wurzen the pen Office Wurzen of the Kingdom of Saxony , after it passed through the provisions of the Vienna Congress in the district Torgau the governmental district Merseburg the Prussian province of Saxony and in 1952 the East German district of Leipzig . By means of a Prussian cabinet order of December 7, 1821, the manor was converted into free inheritance and was directly subordinate to the Naumburg Higher Regional Court .

In 1822 there were a total of 12 houses and 65 residents in Adelwitz. Until 1848 there was also a patrimonial court that had its seat in the manor. On April 28, 1945, Soviet troops occupied the place, the manor was then expropriated and divided up in the course of the land reform . Between 1945 and 1991, Adelwitz Castle belonged to the Arzberg community and housed apartments. In 1991 the reconstruction into a day and tourism center began.
