Rittergut Dölkau, Heritage château in Dölkau, Germany.

Rittergut Dölkau is a stately three-story château in Dölkau near Leuna with classical architecture. The façade is defined by a grand portico with six Ionic columns, complemented by elaborate stucco ornamentation.

The château was built from 1803 to 1806 by Leipzig architect Johann Carl Friedrich Dauthe for Carl Ludwig August von Hohenthal. The von Hohenthal family owned the Rittergut from 1749 to 1945. Johannes Brahms visited for a single day in 1853 and dedicated his Piano Sonata op. 5 in F minor to Countess Ida von Hohenthal. At the end of the Second World War the building was occupied first by the US Army, then by the Red Army; from 1945 to 1953 it housed the FDJ state school, then until 1992 the Merseburg district children's home.

The estate shows how the local nobility wanted to live in the early 19th century and what architectural tastes they favored. The classical design of the house reflects the values and refinement of that era.

The building is privately owned and used as an event and congress centre, so interior visits depend on the events held there. The main façade faces north toward an English landscape park, which holds a classicist memorial to Johann Jacob von Hohenthal from 1803. The two-storey gatehouse with mansard roof dates from around 1751.

In the northern part of the estate stands a memorial dedicated to Johann Jacob von Hohenthal, an older family member. This monument is often overlooked, yet it preserves an important part of the site's family history.
