Death

Count Heinrich von Brühl gave up all his offices after the death of King Augustus III in October 1763. He died himself soon afterwards. At his own request, he was buried in the town church in Forst, the main Protestant church of his lordship of Pförten. There are still descendants of Brühl today. While the Protestant branch in Seifersdorf became extinct in 1923 in the male line, the Catholic branch from Pförten continues to exist.
