Schloss Heynitz, Medieval castle in Nossen, Germany.
Schloss Heynitz is a medieval castle in Nossen with roots in the 13th century, distinguished by its preserved defensive walls and moat system converted into a pond. The original fortifications still define the character of the grounds and encircle the main structures.
The castle first appeared in records in 1338 and remained in the hands of the Heynitz family for centuries. Following 1945 it was seized and repurposed for community uses, marking a significant shift in its purpose.
The castle takes its name from the Heynitz family who shaped the estate for centuries through their residence and stewardship. Today visitors encounter art exhibitions and musical performances that bring the grounds to life throughout the year.
The castle is located at Heynitzer Strasse 9 in Nossen, easily accessible for day visits. The grounds provide space for walking and exploring, with guided tours and events offered on a regular basis.
The castle experimented with ecological farming approaches as early as the 1930s, decades before such methods became mainstream. Today the site continues this legacy through its organic farming operations and eco-café.
