history
1604, the former received Official Schösser Rudolf of Schelinsky, stable master of the Saxon elector that Vorwerk in fee. As the living conditions at Sydow Castle had become more and more unfavorable, he asked Elector Christian II for permission to build a suitable house.
The house was built from the building materials from the demolished Sydow Castle, which was located a few meters from the building site of the office building. According to the time it was built, the office building is a half-timbered building. Two half-timbered gables look far over all other houses to the east. A bay window is built on the north side . The ground floor has about one meter thick walls made of field stones.
The front is characterized by a typical Renaissance entrance portal with side niches and stone seats, which is decorated with shell jewelry. Originally all windows on the first floor were barred. The door is crowned by an arch with a tooth cut and an egg stick. There are two coats of arms in the structure . Of these, the one with three horseshoes probably indicates the builder, the elector's stable master. It ends with a flat triangle from which a man's head looks out. It does not quite reach the size of a natural head and is covered with a knight's helmet, which is adorned with a flowing feather in the middle. The hallway inside the office building is laid out with stone slabs. The paneled wooden ceiling was retained in its original form. Stone stairs lead to the first floor. In two lower rooms the ceiling is provided with cross vaults.
From 1627 the house served as an official residence for a senior electoral Saxon official who was entrusted with the administration of the office. After 1815 the official building became the seat of a Royal Prussian court. In the middle of the 19th century it went into private ownership.
From 1993 until it was completely renovated, the office building was completely empty. Most recently, in the 1980s until the fall of the Wall, some rooms were used as a sewing room for the state- owned service company. Before that, the building was used for residential purposes since the district court was relocated to Jessen .
Externally, the facade was repaired in 1976. Comprehensive renovation work followed in 2001. During the last renovation, the facade of the half-timbered building was repainted in white. The historical doors, ceilings, floors and half-timbered constructions have been faithfully restored and restored in close coordination with the monument protection authorities and reflect the original condition from 1605. The wooden windows were completely renewed except for two original windows.
In addition to the registry office , an office of the forest management office in Annaburg and a practice room for the Seyda minstrel train , the massive building primarily houses the local history museum.
