Schloss Schönfeld

Schönfeld Castle in the Saxon municipality of Schönfeld was first mentioned in documents as a moated castle in the 13th century and was further expanded over the centuries. Until the early 15th century, the Schönfeld noble family sat here. The buildings date from the years 1560 to 1580. In 1882, Maximilian Dathe Freiherr von Burgk acquired Schönfeld Castle and had it rebuilt by 1884. Today, Schönfeld Castle is one of the most important neo-Renaissance castles in Saxony.
