Description

Schnaditz Castle was probably built around 1237 into a marshland area. The longest time (1463–1655) the family members of the von Zaschnitz lived there, also related to the Steuben family through marriage. Tietzen von Zaschnitz undertook numerous renovations and new buildings at the castle in the mid-15th century..

Immediately after the purchase in 1655, Ludwig von Wuthenau carried out extensive construction work on the castle, which had run down during the Thirty Years' War. Today it is in dilapidated state.
