Castle site

Isserstedt, Kötschau and Remderoda once formed their own bailiwick with a castle belonging to the Lords of Isserstedt. The owners of this former moated castle in Isserstedt were first mentioned in 1174 and mentioned until the 16th century. In 1272 Berthold von Isserstedt sold 200 acres of wood to the Kapellendorf monastery for 80 marks . In 1333 they gave up their ancestral castle in Isserstedt. At the time of the Saxon Civil War (1446 to 1451), the castle was owned by Burchard Vitzthum von Roßla . In 1452, after the end of the fratricidal war, it was destroyed together with the neighboring village of Lützendorf (today Vierzehnheiligen ) and left to the residents.

On the southeastern edge of Isserstedt are the remains of the medieval castle complex. A hill of ruins with surrounding wall and moat remains of the castle has remained recognizable. The Isserstedter Holz nature reserve with a size of 122.31 hectares, which was designated in 1961, is also located here. It is almost identical in area to a former military training area at the same location. It is part of the Middle Saale Valley landscape protection area .
