Goßwitz manor in the heart of Upper Lusatia

Großwitz Castle near Reichenbach unites history, charm, and versatile usage possibilities in an impressive property. The estate, whose origins date back to 1345, was built between 1914 and 1916 in the Neo-Baroque style on the grounds of a historic manor. With a living and usable area of approx. 1,800 m² and a park with old trees, the castle offers space for visionary projects and individual design. The main building extends over three spacious floors, each with approx. 300 m². It is complemented by intermediate and corner buildings, some of which still show the original building fabric of the former manor. Historical details such as elaborate woodwork, carvings, and the attic with the remains of a former planetarium give the castle a unique aura. The spacious park with oaks, chestnuts, and beeches, a representative staircase, and the terrace emphasize the special character of the property. The last partial renovation took place in 1997/98, during which the roof truss and the facade were also reworked. Since the manor house served as a facility for people with disabilities until 2010, the castle has numerous barrier-free features such as wide doors, accessible bathrooms, and a wheelchair-accessible elevator. Despite the solid basic building structure, there are some minor defects: Leaky roof connections have led to water damage and mold formation, which should be remedied to restore the full splendor of the property. Großwitz Castle offers a variety of usage possibilities. It is ideally suited as a retirement residence, multi-generational house, holiday accommodation with several apartments, training center, event location, or private estate. The spacious rooms can be flexibly designed, for example, for seminars, exhibitions, or lavish celebrations. In the side wings, 6–8 apartments can be created. In the barn building next to the boiler room, there is another unit in need of renovation. The large cellar allows for the expansion of a modern wellness area. The location of the castle combines an idyllic ambience with excellent accessibility. Popular excursion destinations such as Görlitz, Presslau, or Prague, as well as the Hirschberger Tal valley, are quickly accessible, making the property also attractive for tourist purposes. With targeted renovation measures and the elimination of existing defects, Großwitz Castle can unfold its full potential. This property is not just a building, but a piece of history – a place that waits to make your visions a reality.
