Schloss Cotta, Heritage castle in Dohma, Germany
Schloss Cotta is a castle in Dohma featuring neo-Renaissance architecture, stone walls, and multiple floors. The building sits on grounds with a park that occupies a substantial portion of the property.
The castle was built in 1650 and initially belonged to the Burggrafen von Dohna family. Over the centuries it passed between various noble families and underwent several transformations until the mid-20th century.
The castle served as a filming location for the adaptation of the novel Der Turm in 2011, representing Saxon aristocratic life.
The property is currently undergoing renovation and conversion work, so access may be limited. Visitors should check ahead to see if tours are available and which areas are accessible.
An older building on the property was converted into a brewery during the von Friesen family ownership. This outbuilding shows how the estate served different economic purposes over the centuries.
