Gentlemen
Wehlen
The dilapidated Wehlen Castle in the Elbe Sandstone Mountains was the mansion of those von Saalhausen, who were enfeoffed here by the Margraves of Meißen after 1245 . The castle has not been inhabited since 1547 and gradually fell into disrepair.
Schieritz
Schieritz Castle in the Ketzerbachtal near Meißen was owned by the noble family from 1409 to 1513.
Tetschen
The north Bohemian rule Tetschen ( Děčín ) with Sperlingstein , Kamnitz and the desert castle Scharfenstein sold in 1515 Nicholas III. Trčka from Lípa for 70,000 shock Bohemian groschen to the brothers Hans, Wolf and Friedrich von Salhausen on Wehlen. After the separation of property in 1522, the rule of Tetschen fell to Hans von Salhausen, who sold it to Rudolf von Bünau in 1534 .
Bensen and Binsdorf
Hans von Salhausen auf Wehlen (Hanuš ze Salhausenu) acquired around 1515 from Nikolaus III. Trčka von Lípa also the north Bohemian rule Bensen (formerly as rule Scharfenstein), where he introduced the Reformation . He convinced the Catholic theologian Balthasar Resinarius from Leipzig as one of the first Bohemian priests to convert to the Lutheran faith.
In 1522 Hans shared the property with his brothers Friedrich and Wolf von Salhausen. Friedrich had a new castle built in Bensen between 1522 and 1524 , the Upper Castle. Wolf von Salhausen received his share. Friedrich von Salhausen, who got into financial difficulties due to the construction of the lower castle between 1540 and 1544, pledged his rule in 1545 to his brothers Hans and Niklas , to whom he owed 2,600 shock Bohemian groschen.
After Friedrich's death in 1562 the inheritance was shared by his sons Hans and Friedrich and the Binsdorf rule was established. Rosendorf belonged to the inheritance of Hans von Salhausen. In 1575 an inheritance dispute broke out among the von Salhausen family that lasted until 1583. From 1594 the gentlemen von Hagen , Salhausen and Starschedel took turns as owners. In 1612 Johann von Wartenberg bought the Binsdorf estate on Kamnitz. The Bensen rule was acquired by the Counts of Thun-Hohenstein in 1631 .
Both Bensen castles are considered to be particularly valuable Renaissance monuments.
Kamnitz
The town of Böhmisch-Kamnitz in the Scharfenstein lordship was bought from the Wartenbergers in 1515 , who had high war debts. The people of Saalhausen divided the rule in 1535, from which the rule Kamnitz was founded from one part , which existed until 1850 and from 1614 belonged to the Kinsky . With the construction of the castle and the Lady Chapel in the 17th century, Kamenice developed into a representative baroque town.
