Schloss Lipsa, Baroque castle in Hermsdorf, Germany.
Schloss Lipsa is a baroque castle in Hermsdorf featuring a rectangular ground plan, two stories, and distinctive mansard roofs. The facade is decorated with pilasters and French windows, displaying the typical characteristics of baroque architecture from the 17th and 18th centuries.
The castle was founded in 1680 and later shaped by significant renovations under Count Heinrich von Baudissin in 1720. This renovation phase fundamentally influenced the building's appearance today.
The castle reflects how wealthy families in this region expressed their status and taste through the building's design and construction. The balanced proportions and decorative details on the facade speak to aesthetic choices that were common among German nobility of that era.
The castle serves today as a venue for weddings and events, managed through the local municipal office. Visitors should contact the municipality in advance to inquire about access and availability.
From 1945 to 1990 the castle served as a retirement home before being purchased by Herbert Hillebrand in 1992. This extended second use marked the building's fabric and shows the eventful history the structure experienced after the war.
