Seußlitz, Monastery and castle in Nünchritz, Germany
Seußlitz is a three-winged baroque complex near Nünchritz that includes a chapel designed by architect George Bähr from 1725 to 1727, characterized by stone vases and decorative balustrades. The site sits within a historical garden landscape that spreads across the grounds.
The site began as a water castle in 1205 and became a Poor Clares monastery in 1268 following the decision of Margrave Henry of Meissen. This transformation shaped the location for more than five centuries.
The gardens here combine French and English landscaping, with sculptures representing the four seasons and preserved gravestones from the former monastery church scattered throughout the grounds.
The grounds are open to visitors and offer views of the Elbe Valley while allowing exploration of the historical garden layout. Plan your visit during daylight hours to fully appreciate the architectural details and walkways throughout the property.
During 1813, the castle briefly sheltered the university library collection from Wittenberg, protecting valuable manuscripts during military conflict in the region. This episode reveals how the site served purposes beyond its original religious and residential role.
