Torhaus Dölitz, Manor house museum in Dölitz, Leipzig, Germany.

The Torhaus Dölitz stands as a three-story structure with four wings, reflecting Saxon Baroque and Renaissance architectural elements from the 17th century.

During the Battle of Leipzig in 1813, the building functioned as French headquarters where Austrian troops attempted multiple unsuccessful attacks before French forces withdrew.

The museum within Torhaus Dölitz maintains a collection of 100,000 pewter figures, making it among the three largest accessible collections worldwide.

Visitors need to schedule appointments before arrival and can access the museum from Wednesday through Saturday between 10:00 AM and 4:00 PM.

The wooden bridge crossing over a moat leads visitors to the entrance of this remaining structure from the original Dölitz Castle complex.
