history
This individual settlement was mentioned on February 18, 1227 on page 58 of the Paulinzella monastery record book . In this the place is mentioned as a church and center of a parish with the subsidiary villages Lotschen, Wittersroda, Drößnitz and Kesslar. Presumably Pfarrkeßlar was a monastery courtyard, whose income went to the mother monastery. The nave of the town's church, which had already been described as dilapidated in 530, was demolished in 1840; the Romanesque church tower from the 12th to 14th centuries, however, has been preserved to this day. The rectory of the parish was still in Pfarrkeßlar until 1907.
In 1907 a farmer from Drößnitz bought the settlement; A new rectory in Drößnitz was financed from the sales proceeds. The conversion to a summer resort failed with the outbreak of the First World War. Instead, a laundry and dye works were set up. From 1962 Pfarrkeßlar served as a children's holiday camp, which was sold in 1970 to Civil Engineering Berlin. He converted it into a company holiday home. The Treuhandanstalt tried since 1990 to sell the property. In 2002, an association acquired the property and uses it as a residential community.
