Schloss Althörnitz, Renaissance château and hotel in Bertsdorf-Hörnitz, Germany.

The rectangular castle features two octagonal towers topped with distinctive hats, where the right tower functions as a stair access from 1853.

Built between 1651 and 1654 by Zittau master builder Valentin for Mayor Christian von Hartig, who introduced greenhouses and rare flowers to the region.

The entrance hall, added in 1892, displays an inscription from Christian von Hartig detailing the castle's location and architectural significance.

The hotel provides 75 rooms and suites, two restaurants, a bar, and extensive park grounds near the Zittau Mountains Nature Park.

Located in the tri-border area of Germany, Poland, and Czech Republic, the castle served as accommodations for FDGB holiday guests from 1948 to 1991.
