Schloss Saathain, Medieval castle and manor estate in Brandenburg, Germany
Description
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.
History
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.
Culture
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.
Practical
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.
