Gohliser Schlösschen, Rococo castle in Gohlis, Germany

The Gohliser Schlösschen is a Rococo castle in Gohlis near Leipzig with symmetrical orangery wings flanking the main building on both sides. The facade and interior rooms display elaborate Rococo architectural details that define the structure inside and out.

Johann Caspar Richter, a Leipzig councillor and council architect, had the summer palace built in 1755/56 on land formed by merging two farms owned by his wife Christiana Regina. The design is attributed to Friedrich Seltendorff, influenced by Johann Christoph Knöffel. High wartime contributions delayed the interior; after Richter died in 1770, his widow's next husband, history professor Johann Gottlob Böhme, completed it, with Adam Friedrich Oeser painting the ballroom.

The name Turmgut, Tower Manor, recalls the 36-metre tower-like structure above the central section. Concerts and theatre events are held in the Festsaal, whose ceiling painting by Adam Friedrich Oeser depicts the "Life of Psyche". The Oesersaal on the upper floor is used for civil and free weddings, while the Steinsaal, reached from the garden, hosts funeral ceremonies.

The complex lies between Menckestraße on the courtyard side and Poetenweg on the garden side in Leipzig-Gohlis, about 2 km from the centre and 200 m from the Rosental park. The garden side sits lower on the slope, so the Stein- und Gartensaal is reached from the garden. Guided tours are offered, and the eastern wing, once a bowling alley and billiards room, now serves as a café.

The ceiling painting in the Oesersaal depicts the "Life of Psyche" and was made by Adam Friedrich Oeser, who also placed two evening fantasy landscapes beside the door. The hall was restored between 2011 and 2013. The garden holds Oeser's statue of Frederick Augustus I of Saxony, moved here in 1937 from Königsplatz, now Wilhelm-Leuschner-Platz.
