Castle Neusorge, Renaissance château in Mittweida, Germany
Castle Neusorge is a Renaissance-era château in Mittweida featuring architectural elements from multiple periods. The main building is accompanied by secondary structures and houses a well-maintained orangery building on the grounds.
The castle was reconstructed following a fire in 1579 and acquired its current form after 1720 under General von Armin's direction. The structure remained a center of noble activities and significant local events across centuries.
The name reflects the location's origins in cleared land from earlier times. The structure defines the local landscape as a symbol of the town's past and draws visitors interested in studying historical buildings.
The site is currently undergoing maintenance and requires substantial work, particularly to the roof and structural reinforcement. Visitors should expect limited accessibility and check in advance which areas are open to explore.
In the 1920s the castle was transformed into a children's home for war orphans and became a site of humanitarian work during a difficult period. This new function showed how old buildings adapted to modern needs.
