Oberlichtenau Palace

Oberlichtenau Castle is one of the most beautiful baroque noble residences in Upper Lusatia. Christian Gottlieb von Holtzendorff (1696-1755) had it built from 1726. In 1744, he sold the castle together with the manor of Ober- and Niederlichtenau to Count Heinrich von Brühl. An extensive French garden was laid out for the prime minister, who, however, rarely visited Oberlichtenau. In 1760, King Frederick II of Prussia had the castle destroyed. Brühl's heirs sold Oberlichtenau in 1774 to Count Andreas von Renard, who was succeeded by the influential minister Camillo Count Marcolini. From 1948 to 2005, the castle housed a children's home.

Today: The castle is privately owned. The rooms can be rented for company and family celebrations.
