Dobitschen Moated Castle

Highlight • Castle

The manor was first mentioned in 1204 when Heinrich von Dobitschen had the town's church built. After the von Dobitschen family died out at the end of the 16th century, the property changed hands several times. From 1692 to 1945 it was owned by the Bachoff von Echt family. In 1692, the Saxon-Gotha Privy Councilor Johann Friedrich I Baron Bachoff von Echt (1643–1726) acquired it from the Schauroth heirs. In 1714, Dobitschen was united with other properties of the Bachoff von Echt family to form a family fidei commission under Johann Friedrich Bachoff von Echt. The baroque renovation or new construction of the castle took place in 1696.

The estate complex is still completely preserved in its form, and you can see the transition from the baroque moated castle to its later use. The moated castle has been privately owned since 2000. Until it was sold, the property was used by, among others, an agricultural cooperative and the Schmölln music school. In a fire on April 7, 2004, an outbuilding of the cultural monument was damaged.

Großstöbnitz Church

Highlight • Religious Site

The church, which dates back to a Romanesque complex, was known for years by its leaning tower, which was built as a choir tower on the Romanesque choir rectangle from around 1200 (Wikipedia).

St. Christophorus Church Saara

Highlight • Religious Site

It dates from the Romanesque period (approx. 1000 to approx. 1250). Today's inner entrance door and the high window in the sanctuary in the southern longitudinal wall of the church are reminiscent of this origin.

The church can be assigned to the type of Romanesque hall churches, which had no entrance portal on the west side.
