Schloss Ahlsdorf, Baroque château in Schönewalde, Germany

Schloss Ahlsdorf is a two-storey, L-shaped Baroque rendered building with a mansard roof, set back from the village street behind a working courtyard. Its east-west main wing was built in 1709, the north-south wing added around 1720. A sandstone portal with a 1709 coat-of-arms keystone marks the courtyard entrance, and a large park lies to the east.

A fortified noble residence stood on this site from 1428, but the main building as it exists today was constructed in 1709. The new building was created under Anton Friedrich von Seyffertitz, who gave the castle its current Baroque appearance.

Inside, original plasterwork and woven wall hangings show how the nobles of that era decorated their homes. These crafted details remain visible today and tell stories about how the family lived back then.

The castle stands east of the village street, set back from the Anger behind a front economic courtyard, with the park to the east. It is private property and rented out for weddings and events, so visits depend on the booking; the terrace and courtyard give the closest view of the facades.

The initials AFVS and the date 1709 appear in the stucco of the hall above the entrance hall, standing for Anton Friedrich von Seyffertitz, who built the main wing. On the terrace wall, a relief signed "LH" shows a boy drinking, kneeling in a grotto; it was added after 1945.
