history
Johann Christian von Kap-herr bought the Hänichen farm in 1868. During many years of renovations on the extensive estate, the main building in the neo-renaissance style was built in 1887/88 according to the plans of Kirsten and Kreyhsig, students of Semper . By purchasing the farm in which Johann George Palitzsch had lived, the property increased to 63 hectares in 1884 .
In 1945 the Red Army occupied the site, and in the following year, bombed out people were billeted. In 1947 the main building was leased to the parish of Leubnitz-Neuostra , which used it for its Prohliser and Reicker members.
Viktor von Kap-herr died in 1948. He had not left the Soviet occupation zone .
In 1952 the city of Dresden took over the castle area in trust. From 1954 the area was used as a VEG for keeping pigs and cattle.
In 1978 the building authorities closed the main building, which had been used by the now independent parish of Prohlis (with Reick and Torna ). Two years later the main building, which was to be preserved as a cultural center, burned out.
The outbuildings had already given way to the so-called new building area. When it was built in the 1970s, the then relatively small, village-like Prohlis changed its character and residents. Next to the courtyard in which u. a. the Palitzsch Museum is located and is therefore now called Palitzsch-Hof , the castle is still in the collective memory of the Neu-Prohlisers, as it was only finally demolished in 1985. In the meantime the church was built next to it.
In 1990 the community of heirs Kap-herr again became the owner of the site, on which a plaque has been commemorating the past since 2007.
Some fragments of the castle and parts of the collection of the Palitzsch Museum have been preserved.
