Weißenborn Castle was first mentioned in a document in 1213 together with the village of the same name. Weißenborn was given to the Freiberg family von Hartitzsch as a fief in 1365, and it remained in their possession until 1802. The castle was built probably in the 14th century. Weissenborn was also not spared from wars, looting and the plague.
In 1802, Alexander von Hartitzsch sold the castle and manor to Christoph Schubert, who passed both on to a cavalry master from Weißenbach . Colonel Freiherr von Wangenheim acquired the manor from Count Hohenthal-Püchau in 1882 and kept it until 1924. In 1931, Dr. Otto Fritz new owner of the manor and expropriated in 1945. During the GDR era there was a culture house in the premises. Weissenborn Castle has been privately owned again since 2010.
References:The Broch of Clickimin is a large and well preserved, though somewhat restored broch near Lerwick. Originally built on an island in Clickimin Loch (now increased in size by silting and drainage), it was approached by a stone causeway. The water-level in the loch was reduced in 1874, leaving the broch high and dry. The broch is situated within a walled enclosure and, unusually for brochs, features a large 'blockhouse' between the opening in the enclosure and the broch itself. Another unusual feature is a stone slab featuring sculptured footprints, located in the causeway which approached the site. Situated across the loch is the Clickimin Leisure Centre.
