Gattersburg, Grimma

Gattersburg is a heritage villa in Grimma with a distinctive round tower that rises from a steep hillside above the Mulde River. The estate operates today as a hotel and includes multiple rooms and spaces used for accommodation and events.

Paper manufacturer Max Schroeder commissioned the villa in 1887 using architectural styles typical of that era. The placement on a cliff above the Mulde River was a deliberate choice to emphasize the building's prominence in the landscape.

The villa now operates as a hotel and hosts regular exhibitions and events throughout its rooms. The building and its location have made it a gathering point for visitors interested in local creative projects and cultural gatherings.

The property is easily reached from the Mulderadweg, a popular cycling route along the river. Access is from the street at the southern edge of the center, making it a natural stop on a river excursion.

The property features an artificial ruin made from rubble stones, deliberately built during the initial development of the estate. This ruin remains visible today and gives the hillside a romantic quality that hints at centuries past.
