history
Thallwitz
On July 31, 1253, Thallwitz was first mentioned as Talvitz in a document from the Margrave of Meißen , Heinrich the Illustrious . It is possible that Thallwitz is older and was established as a Slavic settlement much earlier. Henricus de Scof was the lord of Thallwitz by 1266 at the latest and henceforth called himself Henricus de Talwiz . In the 16th century, the Lords of Canitz built the Thallwitz Castle in the Renaissance style customary at the time and named themselves according to the spelling of Canitz and Dallwitz mentioned in 1575 . Today's spelling is found for the first time in 1791.
From 1554 the place belonged to the Wurzen office , from 1875 to the Grimma office . The former estate Dennstädt belonged to the rural community of Thallwitz . After the GDR district reform in 1952, Thallwitz, which had around 1000 inhabitants, became part of the Wurzen district in the Leipzig district . Kollau was incorporated in 1957, Canitz and Lossa in 1973 and Nischwitz in 1993 . From 1994 to 2008 Thallwitz was part of the Muldental district . On April 1, 1996, Thallwitz merged with the community of Röcknitz-Böhlitz .
Bohlitz
The village of Böhlitz was mentioned for the first time as a manor on June 6, 1222.

- Thallwitz Castle and Park
- The castle was built around 1580 by the Lords of Canitz instead of the medieval ancestral seat of the von Dallwitz family . The renaissance house with a rectangular floor plan has a stair tower with a spiral stone and four two-storey gables on the courtyard side. At the end of the 17th century, the manor came to the chamberlain and head stable master Christoph Siegmund von Holtzendorff , who had the baroque garden laid out from 1699. The main avenue runs towards the castle and leads via a staircase with a baroque fountain cascade to the raised terrace, on which a new baroque building was originally planned, but which was not planned for financial reasons. The manor then came to the Counts of Hoym . In 1783 Thallwitz came into the possession of the counts and later princes Reuss-Ebersdorf , who used it as a hunting lodge . In 1848 Reuss-Ebersdorf became part of the Principality of Reuss younger line . In 1882 the architect Arwed Roßbach added a neo-renaissance wing with a tower to the palace on behalf of Prince Heinrich XIV. His grandson Heinrich XLV. rented the castle to a plastic surgery clinic in 1942. In 1945 the castle was expropriated. In 1994 the clinic was closed for financial reasons, a bust in front of the castle commemorates the clinic's founder Wolfgang Rosenthal . The bust of the clinic's founder was removed in front of the castle and is now somewhat hidden in the adjacent park. In 2008, the palace and park were transferred back to the heiress from the Reuss family (Köstritz line), Woizlawa-Feodora Princess Reuss , as part of a settlement (mainly via movables and museum property of the Reuss younger line) .
- Nischwitz Castle and Park
- Nischwitz Castle dates from the first half of the 18th century and was rebuilt a little later in the late Baroque style. The park, like the palace, was originally laid out in the Rococo style and turned into an English landscape garden in the mid-19th century.
