The Castle Strehla , later Castle Strehla , is on a steeply to the same slope in the city Strehla in district Meissen in Saxony .
history
Even before 900 there is said to have been a Slavic ruler's seat at this point. Strehla Castle is probably one of the first foundations in this area. The hill fort was built to protect a river crossing near a ford after 928 and 1064 with a Burgward mentioned. In a conflict between the German King Henry II and the Polish Duke Bolesław I Chrobry , the castle was burned down in 1002.
In 1064 the bishops of Naumburg owned the castle. According to this, the Lords of Strele are likely to have been enfeoffed with it. From the beginning of the 13th century these were then enfeoffed with lords in the Lausitz and died out in 1384.
In 1384 the castle came to the von Pflugk family as a fief and remained in the possession of the Pflugk family until 1945. After the Pflugk family was expropriated, Strehla u. a. used as a children's home and in the post-reunification period as an artist's residence and has been privately owned since 1994. The storm damage to the roofs, gables and chimneys from January 2018 should be repaired in the same year.

The oldest part of the building dates from 1335, the knight's hall between the two mighty towers , which has been preserved as a ruin . The lower parts date from the 13th to 14th centuries, the late Gothic cell vaults in the upper floor rooms date from around 1530, the gable attachments and roof turrets were added towards the end of the 16th century. In the 15th to 16th centuries the castle was rebuilt as a palace and the north wing was rebuilt in 1890 after a fire. The gatehouse to the front courtyard was built around 1560 and adorned with dwarf houses and gables. The castle forms a closed square with architectural forms of the late Gothic and Renaissance , the Elbe-sided wing, built around 1530 for Otto Pflugk, has a late Gothic brick gable with tracery patterns, the stair towers in the castle courtyard have renaissance gables. The cell-vaulted "drinking room" in the south-west tower was given a rich painting in 1532, which is attributed to the circle around Lucas Cranach.
The castle is surrounded by an extensive English landscape park with partly old trees, which stretches down the mountainside to the Elbe.
