Schloss Saathain

Schloss Saathain stands as a castle ruin near the Schwarze Elster river in Röderland municipality and marks a historic crossing point. The grounds include an extensive rose garden with around 5000 bushes along with a 17th-century estate church.

The castle was first mentioned in 1140 as castrum Sathim and served as a fortification marking the border with Gau Nizizi along the Schwarze Elster. Over centuries it lost its military purpose and transformed into a residential manor.

The estate church built in 1629 hosts concerts and exhibitions, keeping the property connected to regional artistic life. Visitors experience how sacred architecture serves as a space for modern cultural activity.

The rose garden is freely accessible and offers a peaceful place to explore the grounds. However, visitors should be aware that access to certain areas of the deteriorated castle structure is restricted for safety reasons.

A granite boulder monument called steinerne Chronik was installed in 1958 and carries engraved historical information about the village of Saathain. This stone records local history in a permanent form for future generations.
