Lehnsmühlschloss
The Lehnsmühlschloss (occasionally also Lehnsmühlenschloss) is a listed building in the southern Brandenburg town of Ortrand in the Oberspreewald-Lausitz district .
history
The Lehnsmühle consisted of a mill and a manorial estate. The building of the Lehnsmühlschloss was built in 1480. The Lehnsmühl manor district was a sovereign fiefdom and existed independently with its own lower court next to the town of Ortrand until 1904 (Lehnsmühle) and 1906 (castle). The manor district was officially part of Großkmehlen . Church attendance and school attendance were in the outskirts. The city prison of Ortrand, which was located in the town hall , among other things , could be used for a fee. In 1578 the city of Ortrand bought four official meadows belonging to the castle district (Hof-, Frauen-, Kabel- and Kleckwiese). Hans von Krackau was given the castle wall in 1532 to build a house. The family owned the Lehnsmühlengut until 1636. According to a purchase contract from 1715, the estate included a stone house with side buildings and stables, a grinding mill, six stairs, a walkable board mill, a tanner's whale, an oil mallet, a bleaching house and the Schützengarten am Walkteich, a vineyard, a barn in Kraussnitz , a farm and fields and meadows. Eight subjects of the estate and their houses each had to serve four days a year and pay twenty groschen of hereditary interest. In the mill there was compulsory meal for the Ortrander bakers, the malt grinding and the malt transport.
In 1912 the building was damaged in a fire. During the GDR era, the building was used by the VEB wood processing plant Ortrand as a residential building and storage room.
Building description
The building is two-story with a gable roof. The front view is simple, it consists of bricks and rubble stones and is plastered. It is decorated with a tooth cut at eaves level . There are two seats at the sandstone portal. The edging is divided by three covings , on the uppermost there is an egg bar and is decorated with two angel heads. The border bears a semicircular arcade .
The original Renaissance gable is made of clinker brick and divided by continuous rows of ledges. At the lower end of the gable there is one volute and two blind arches.
The hallway is laid out with sandstone slabs. From here the entrances lead to the former kitchen as well as the hunting room and the large room. There is an ornamental link above the door to the Great Room, consisting of a shield-like surface and a frame made of decorative motifs. There is a picture of a gleaner on the sign. Profane paintings can still be seen in the building.
The basement of the building is narrow and small and looks like a corridor. This fed the assumption that it was a secret passage to the burial church. Due to the nearby Pulsnitz , however, the cellar could not be laid out deep and large.
