The cultural monument (monument designation Graue-Presse-Weg 9016) is the quarry stone enclosure wall on the street side along with the "trumpet-shaped drawn inwards" entrance situation with gate pillars, wooden gates and flanking trees. This is the entrance to what was once the largest Wahnsdorf winery, Graue Presse , which is now run as a farm .
The two figures that were originally on the gate pillars have now disappeared. Since they were listed as art monuments under Gut No. 9 at Gurlitt in 1904 , we have a description:
“In estate no. 9. On the pillars of the gate, two figures, sandstone, 63 cm high, on the left a Bacchus, in the right raised hand a goblet, in the left and in the hair grapes; the body is partly covered by a fur. Nice characteristic work done. On the right is an old pensive man with a full beard, the bowed head is supported by the right arm, the other is lying over it. The fore part of the body is for the most part bare, a clumsy cloth falls over the back. Handcrafted rough. Probably the second half of the 18th century. "
The property still has original dry stone walls from the vineyards, which probably date from the 17th / 18th centuries. Century.
The information board at the gate says about the gray press:
“The largest winery in Wahnsdorf was the“ Graue Presse ”, mentioned under this name as early as the 16th century. All 70 vineyards on the Wahnsdorfer Flur belonged to the owner of the Hermsdorf Castle at the beginning of the 17th century, as did the “Gray Press”. It was subject to interest until 1856 to the lap masters. Only one of the gate pillar figures, representing summer and winter, has survived. The old wooden wine press is now in front of the Hoflößnitz local history museum. Owned by the Kullmann family since 1842 "
The "owners of the Hermsdorf Castle" named on the board are the manor owners of the Hermsdorf manor , one of the earliest, Hans Harrer , being the builder of the nearby Renaissance manor house Bennoschlösschen .
The wine press called Graue Presse , which is set up in the Hoflößnitz in front of the mountain and pleasure house , is the original screw press from the winery of the same name.
