Schloss Choren, Baroque castle in Döbeln, Germany.

Schloss Choren is a two-storey Rococo palace built in 1755 to designs by Samuel Locke. Its facade is divided into thirteen window axes with pilaster strips in the manner of Johann Christoph Knöffel. The central axis carries Rococo ornament above the segmental-arched portal, and the first floor has a basket-arch window beneath a large cartouche with the Marschall von Bieberstein coat of arms under a baronial crown, flanked by flower chains. A mansard roof covers the building.

Schloss Choren was built in 1755 for Carl Leonhard Marschall von Bieberstein (1705–1777), electoral Saxon and royal Polish postmaster general, to designs by Samuel Locke. His family held it until 1818, when Major Sahrer von Sahr bought it. In 1846 it passed to Wilhelm Oehmichen, later a Landtag and Reichstag deputy, whose heirs sold it in 1933 to a Dresden architect. Expropriated under the land reform after 1945, it housed resettler families and from 1955 a school.

The building displays Dresden Rococo features with ornamental stonework and a prominent coat of arms of the Marschall von Bieberstein family on its facade. These details shape its appearance today and recall the family's former standing in the region.

The castle remains in private ownership, so visitors should observe posted signs and respect the privacy of current residents. The architecture and facade details can be viewed from outside along the street without entering the property.

The school that moved into the castle in 1955 was not the building's first institutional use: after expropriation under the land reform, resettler families were housed in its rooms. The baroque wing with the Marschall von Bieberstein coat of arms thus passed from aristocratic residence to refugee accommodation to classroom within a decade.
