Schloss Finsterwalde, Renaissance château in Finsterwalde, Germany

The castle consists of two distinct sections: the Vorder Schloss with varied building heights and the Hinterschloss, a four-winged structure with sandstone-framed facades.

The first documented owner of the castle appears in records from 1282, and during the 14th century, it served as a base for a robber knight named von Gorenzen.

The von Dieskau family, who acquired the property in 1533, completed the main structural elements that define the castle's current Renaissance architecture.

Visitors can explore the interior spaces and courtyard during city administrative hours on weekdays, while weekend access is limited to the castle park during daylight.

The Vorder Schloss housed two cloth factories in the 19th century and has functioned as Finsterwalde's city administration headquarters since 1885.
