history
Since the 16th century the Günthersdorf estate and castle belonged to the nobles Kittlitz , von Johnston, Prittwitz , Schweinitz and Friedrich August von Cosel (1712–1770), illegitimate son of Augustus the Strong . Between 1685 and 1689, Balthasar von Unruh built a two-story baroque building. In 1809 the castle and estate were owned by the noble family of Biron von Curland . In 1842 it belonged to the Sagan Duchess Dorothea von Sagan . She had a mezzanine added and an attic placed in front of the gable roof . The garden architect Peter Joseph Lenné designed the landscape park that was created during her reign . In the 19th century, the park was expanded to include the forest area in the east and named "Johannen-Wiese" after Dorothea's sister Pauline von Sagan . In 1862 Dorothea's son Alexandre Edmond de Talleyrand (1813-1894) inherited the castle, who had the orangery replaced by a late Classicist building. The Prussian Agriculture Minister Karl Rudolf Friedenthal followed as the owner, and after him his daughter Renata von Lancken-Wakenitz . The castle burned down in 1945 and has been in ruins since then, as has the orangery.
