Schloss Schnaditz, Medieval castle in Bad Düben, Germany

The castle features a defensive tower reaching 29 meters high and preserves different architectural elements including vaults and a Wendelstein tower.

The castle, first mentioned in 1237, was owned by the von Zaschnitz family from 1463 to 1655 and underwent multiple reconstructions following the Hussite wars.

The castle grounds include a park designed in 1794 following the model of Wörlitzer Park and contains historical elements like family epitaphs.

The municipality of Bad Düben currently seeks investors to renovate the castle, with potential plans for converting it into a youth hostel or children's hotel.

The castle gained literary recognition through Heinrich von Kleist's novella 'Michael Kohlhaas', which features the von Zaschnitz family.
