Schloss Kropstädt, Cultural heritage château in Lutherstadt Wittenberg, Germany.

The Schloss Kropstädt stands as a prominent château in Saxony-Anhalt, featuring a distinctive English-classical architectural style with surrounding moats and extensive grounds.

Originally constructed in 1150 as Liesnitz castle, the structure was destroyed in 1358, rebuilt in 1567, and underwent major reconstruction between 1842 and 1856 under architect Friedrich Hitzig.

The castle reflects German architectural evolution through centuries, transitioning from medieval fortress to an English-classical residence while maintaining regional building traditions.

Located at coordinates 51.962829, 12.744016, the property functioned as a hotel and registry office after German reunification until approximately 2016.

During the German Democratic Republic period, this noble residence transformed into a children's home and later served as a mother and baby care facility until 1991.
