history

Beesenstedt Castle is a manor house built in 1894 by Herrmann Nette based on designs by Reinhold Knoch and Friedrich Kallmeyer . Until 1947 it was the residence of the Nette family , whose ancestors can be traced back to the German poet Friedrich Gottlieb Klopstock . In 1915, the palace was expanded with a second wing by Paul Schultze-Naumburg . In 1921 it was sacked by Max Hoelz during the March fighting in central Germany . The palace remained in the possession of the Nette family until it was expropriated in 1945.

The castle was used as a box house for Freemasonry with appropriate meeting rooms. It is unclear which lodge the rooms belonged to.

The castle served as the seat of the regional council of Saxony during World War II . In the post-war period, the central FDGB school "Otto Schlag" used the more than 100 rooms of the castle and after the end of the GDR the building was empty until 1996. Today it is privately owned and used for events and as a location for filming .
