Schloss Poschwitz, Renaissance castle in Altenburg, Germany
The four-wing manor house features classical side wings, numerous windows, and sits near a 5000-square-meter park with a pond.
Otto von Poschwitz owned the original water castle between 1264 and 1274, while the current Renaissance structure was built in 1580 by Friedrich von der Gabelentz.
The card game Skat was invented at the castle in 1813 during an academic gathering hosted by owner Hans Carl Leopold von der Gabelentz.
The castle requires substantial renovation work, with damaged windows, crumbling plaster, and moisture-affected masonry throughout the structure.
Franz Liszt performed multiple concerts at the castle around 1870, during the ownership period of the von der Gabelentz family.
