Schloss Reinhardtsgrimma, Late Baroque castle in Glashütte, Germany
Schloss Reinhardtsgrimma is a three-story castle with symmetrical design, a central entrance, and ornate wings located near Glashütte. The Baroque facade features decorative details and sits within grounds that include additional service structures and planted areas.
Built between 1765 and 1767 under master builder Johann Friedrich Knöbel, the castle replaced an earlier medieval water fortress on the site. This transformation from a defensive structure to an elegant residence reflected changing architectural priorities during the late 18th century.
The baroque Festsaal hosts occasional public concerts, and civil weddings can be held in the castle. The estate passed in 1820 into middle-class hands through the marriage of Friederike von Bülow to the forester Georg Konrad Ruschenbusch, a union the family did not recognise genealogically.
The castle has housed an agricultural training institution since 1945, so the interior is not open as a museum. Public access is tied to occasional concerts in the Baroque festival hall and to weddings held in the building; confirm dates before travelling.
The estate's park was redesigned in the early 19th century as an English landscape garden, and a classicist bathhouse was added within it. The bathhouse is a small classicist structure, not neo-Gothic, and it shows how English garden fashion reached this Saxon estate.
