geography

Metzradts Hof is located south of the spring mountain ( 352  m ) next to the Brückmühle on the right bank of the Spree in the local area of ​​Niedersohland.

history

From 1487 onwards, the Sohland manor, which has been documented since 1404, began to split up, reaching its peak in the middle of the 17th century with eight mansions. One of these goods was the Niedersohland estate, and there were also two smaller mansions in Niedersohland.

In the 17th century the Niedersohland estate belonged to the von Eberhardt and von Rechenberg families before it came to the von Metzradt family . Around 1688 the estate belonged to Hans Ernst von Metzradt, at the beginning of the 18th century Tugendreich von Metzradt and in 1728 to Kaspar Ernst von Metzradt. In 1750 Friedrich Eberhard zu Solms-Sonnenwalde acquired the properties of Niedersohland and Wendischsohland and united them. The next owner was his son Friedrich Franz Xaver zu Solms-Sonnenwalde (1739-1803), who had a new castle built in 1793 near Äußerstniedersohland over the confluence of the Rosenbach into the Spree. This burned down in 1794 as a result of a lightning strike before its completion and remained a ruin. Friedrich Franz Xaver zu Solms-Sonnenwalde remained unmarried and without descendants. The manors Nieder- and Wendischsohland fell in 1808 to his nephew Joseph Johann Graf von Seilern and Aspang (1752–1838), who had previously been disputed about the succession by Karl Heinrich Traugott von Gersdorff . Joseph August Graf von Seilern and Aspang (1793–1861), who in 1838 had inherited the goods Nieder- and Wendischsohland as the universal heir of his childless uncle, sold them in 1842 to the Saxon Minister of War Gustav von Nostitz-Wallwitz . In 1854 von Nostitz-Wallwitz acquired the Ober- and Mittelohland estates from Henriette von der Sahla and thus became the owner of all Sohlander manors, which he combined in the same year. The Rote Hof in Mittelohland became the sole manor house . Metzradts Hof lost its function as a manor house and was used by the von Nostitz-Wallwitz family for almost a century under the name Gut Niedersohland or Niedergut Sohland as a farmyard. After the end of the Second World War, Benno von Nostitz-Wallwitz was expropriated during the land reform in 1945 . The mansion was demolished in 1970. Only the north-western farm building has been preserved of the historical structure.

description

Metzradts Hof was a four-sided courtyard, consisting of the manor house and farm buildings. On the gate pillars and above the house entrance, cast-iron stove plates decorated with coats of arms from 1793 were walled in, which were recovered from the fire ruins of the unfinished new castle after 1794.

Two modern building wings adjoin the only preserved historical farm building to the southeast.
