Renaissance castle from the 17th century, headquarters of the Wermsdorf tourist information office, guided tours on request, registry office. The extensive game-rich Wermsdorf forests encouraged Elector Christian II to have the first hunting lodge built on the site of the old manor between 1607 and 1610. This was kept very simple and was therefore soon rebuilt and expanded in the style of the German Renaissance from 1617 to 1626 on the orders of Elector Johann Georg I. Builder Simon Hoffmann gave the castle its current shape. Three irregular wings form the courtyard, numerous gables effectively enliven the facades and a special decoration is a bay window with artistic sandstone work. An octagonal stair tower with a lantern and a curved hood separates the two main wings. From 1626 to 1628 the building served as an electoral hunting lodge. However, the turmoil of the 30 Years' War interrupted the actual purpose until 1685.
