Architecture and building history

Golßen Castle was built around 1720 for the Prussian War and Domain Councilor Johann Justus Vieth . The building is an elongated rectangular plastered building , but originally only consisted of the eleven or thirteen-axis central section with a hipped roof . The symmetrical four-axis side wings with a flat roof were not added until around 1845.

The narrow side of the manor house, which faces the city, has a balustrade with vase attachments. The entire exterior of the manor house is kept in a uniform classicist style. The manor house has a wide cornice band between the two floors, evenly arranged rectangular windows and risalits with pilaster strips on the three central axes and at the corners. On both sides there is a central portal with marble walls , whereby the portal towards the driveway is strictly classicistic and that on the park side is in the late Baroque style and has a segmented arch with double coats of arms. The manor house was renovated in the mid-1980s.

Inside the manor house has a continuous central corridor . The interior of the building was originally in the late Baroque style, but today only the simple anteroom with the simple late Baroque stucco ceiling and the marble fireplace is preserved.
