Rottwerndorf Castle was first mentioned in 1337 in a document from Margrave Friedrich II as " villa Rateberndorf ". Little is known about the castle's early history. It is believed that it goes back to a moated castle from around 1200 . Members of the von Karras family were among the early owners in the 14th century . In early 1554, the castle briefly came into the possession of the city council of Pirna, but was sold again to the electoral chamber secretary Damian von Sebottendorf (1519–1585) in March 1554 . A short time later, the manor of the manor and four neighboring farms were destroyed by fire on January 18, 1555. Damian von Sebottendorf arranged for the manor to be rebuilt in the style of a Renaissance castle .

The floor plan is based on a three-storey rectangular building core, which was supplemented at the four corners by bay-like wings with volute gables . The street side is defined by a gabled central wing, while the courtyard side is defined by a filigree, octagonal spiral staircase tower. The dates 1556 and 1561 in the basement of the house and the year 1579 on the west gable bear witness to the time of the reconstruction.

Rottwerndorf Castle remained in the possession of the Sebottendorf family until 1710, after which the Lords von Berbisdorf and von Leyser were among the owners. From the hands of the von Miltitz family , the castle finally passed to bourgeois owners in 1817, after having briefly belonged to a Pirna merchant at the end of the 18th century. The bourgeois owners included the Pirna Superintendent Tischer (owner from 1817 to 1838) and the economist Hermann Degenkolb (1858 to 1908). The botanist and pomologist Degenkolb (1843–1919) had extensive tree nurseries and orchards set up on the grounds of the castle.

Degenkolb was followed in 1917 by the tobacco manufacturer Hugo Zietz , owner of the well-known Yenidze in Dresden, as lord of the castle. In 1927 the castle passed from the possession of Zietz to the city of Pirna. After the end of the Second World War , resettlers lived in the castle. It also later served as a residential building and housed the municipal office and a branch of the Deutsche Post . From 1953 a state-owned estate was established here, which became the property of the city of Pirna again in 1990.

The entire complex of castle and farm buildings had been vacant since 1998, fell into disrepair and was in dire need of renovation. The same applied to the former palace gardens and the orangery . In the summer of 2002 the basement and ground floor were flooded by the water from the Gottleuba . Rottwerndorf Castle was sold to the factory and logistics planner Michael Graf von Plettenberg in 2007. In 2011 the architect Martin Kusic bought the building. He has initiated the renovation and is also planning to restore the original floor plan without later additions or additions; he lives in the house with his family.

The castle mill, the former headquarters of Kretzschmar OHG Pirna, which later operated under the name Delphinwerk OHG and VEB Phonomat Pirna, also belonged to the total property sold. With the privatization in 1990 the ANDICOM GmbH was created as a new company, which went bankrupt after two years. The castle mill was demolished in 2013. The overgrown castle park and the decaying orangery are owned by the city of Pirna.
