Zedtlitz Castle , Wyraaue 6, is a castle built in 1706 in the Wyhra floodplain of Zedtlitz near Borna .
history
For the first time in 1190 a moated castle was mentioned in "Cedelice" . The owners were Heinrich and Otto von Zedlitz , who were named in a Naumburg donation letter in 1191. 1303 a castrum in Zedtlitz was named. The von Zedtlitz family was followed by the von Wolkaw family from the middle of the 15th century , the von Neustadt family from 1498–1558, the von Wolkaw family again from 1590 and the von Draschwitz family from 1611–1685 . The castle burned down during the Thirty Years War .
In 1692 the von Gladebeck family became the owners of the ruins. In 1706 Christiane Elisabeth von Gladebeck, b. von Münchhausen (1650–1718), second wife and widow of the Prussian war council Bodo von Gladebeck (1620–1681) rebuild the castle in a contemporary baroque style . After her death, the castle came into the Aus dem Winckel family through the marriage of her daughter Christine Lucie . This sold it in 1782 to the Dresden court councilor Jacob Heinrich Reinhold. His grandniece Julie, married von Metzradt , gave the castle to her son Jacob Friedrich Rudolph von Metzradt in 1836. In 1840 the composer Albert Lortzing is said to have found inspiration for his opera “ Der Wildschütz ” here while visiting the palace . Before 1905 the property came to the Rex family through marriage .
In the course of the land reform in 1945/1946 , Rudolf Karl Max was expropriated by Rex. The Zedtlitz community took over the castle and used it as a kindergarten, among other things. After the fall of the Wall , the roof was renewed and the farm buildings were put to use. The castle itself changed hands several times.
Architecture and open spaces
The publisher August Schumann , father of Robert Schumann , described the property as follows in the State, Post and Newspaper Lexicon of Saxony in 1826 :
“The manor still owns the villages Raupenhayn and Plateka, [...] and has its very beautiful buildings on the left side of the floodplain, deep down. Below this is the castle a spacious and beautiful building, the main part of which has three floors and seven window widths; next to this is a smaller wing to the right for living in, and the large and well-stocked greenhouse to the left; [...]. In front of the same is a pretty ground floor, but behind it a beautiful ornamental garden with a remarkable orangery and the like. s. w .; the whole is surrounded by a moat. The remaining 3 sides of the large courtyard form the [...] farm buildings, of medium size. The sheep farm is further south, [...]. Somewhat away in the southwest is the brickworks. The large ornamental and kitchen gardens that spread out towards the village, as well as the avenues that lead on several sides to the manor and the dams in the Wiehrenaue, still deserve mention. "
The palace building is accessed through a representative baroque portal in the middle. It has a cranked frame with a relief above that shows the coats of arms of the von Gladecke and von Münchhausen families above an inscription. A flight of stairs is arranged in front of him.
