Keppschloss

Keppschloss is a residential château in Hosterwitz featuring three towers and crenellated walls in neo-gothic style, perched on a hillside above the Elbe Valley. The symmetrical facade and distinctive battlements are clearly visible from outside.

The building was created in 1801 as a pleasure house and received its current name in 1840. Under banker Robert Thode, it underwent extensive renovations between 1861 and 1863 that shaped its neo-gothic character.

The name comes from a former owner and remains deeply connected to local heritage. Visitors see today a distinctive building that shapes the character of the neighborhood.

The château sits at Am Keppschloß 27 in Dresden's Hosterwitz district and is visible from the valley below. Access involves a steep path uphill, so expect some climbing when approaching.

The estate offers access to Keppgrund, a natural area featuring a stream and forest that combines neo-gothic architecture with natural surroundings. This green space at the foot of the castle provides a quiet retreat near the city.
