Schloss Mückenberg, Baroque castle ruins in Lauchhammer-West, Germany
The three-wing castle structure stood two stories tall and featured architectural elements characteristic of Saxon Baroque construction methods and design principles.
Built between 1735 and 1737 by Baroness Margaretha von Löwendal, the castle replaced an older fortification dating back to 1278.
The castle grounds contain a Rococo church from 1746, which displays porcelain artworks created by Johann Joachim Kändler within its interior.
The surrounding park spans 14 hectares and includes walking paths, an outdoor stage, animal enclosures, and commemorative monuments for visitors.
The castle perimeter remains marked by yew trees in the park, outlining the foundation of the structure that burned down in 1945.
