The massive building on a rectangular ground plan with its southeastern and northwestern corner towers, as well as the deep, dry moat with its medieval drawbridge, mark the transition from a medieval castle to a late Gothic palace. The spatial layout, the spiral stone, the curtain-arch windows on the towers and on the first floor, and especially the cell vaults with their reticulated figuration in the interior, point to direct connections with Albrechtsburg Palace in Meissen, whose master builder, Arnold von Westfalen, significantly pioneered palace architecture in Saxony. The construction cost 14,000 Reichstaler. With the exception of two destroyed towers, the palace survived various wartime threats and fires. Source: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schloss_Wurzen

As early as 995, the Diocese of Meissen acquired Wurzen and the Wurzen region, which became an administrative unit of the Bishopric of Meissen in the 14th century. Bishop Johann VI of Saalhausen, who was striving intensively to reform his diocese, had the castle built between 1491 and 1497 as an additional bishopric outside of Meissen. After its completion, he resided here relatively frequently in addition to his stays at Stolpen Castle. Recent research suggests that the Meissen cathedral master builder Klaus Kirchner, who died in 1494, was the designer of this architecturally significant structure.[1] In 1631, the two towers burned down and were severely damaged. Many valuable details adorn the building, such as the late Gothic niche portal, above which is a heraldic stone. The entrance hall features a high cell vault; in total, there are more than 40 cell vaults of various sizes in the castle. Wurzen Castle was the residence of the bishops of Meissen until 1581. On October 20, 1581, the last bishop, Johann IX von Haugwitz, abdicated. After that, the building served as the seat of the Wurzen Abbey until 1856.[2] Later, the building was used by the district court and, after 1945, by the police. On June 17, 2002, the Wedekind family purchased the property. One year later, on August 17, 2003, the restaurant area (cellar and ground floor of the main building) was completed. In August 2004, the hotel in the adjacent building (the granary) opened with twelve double rooms and one single room. In total, Wurzen Castle encompasses 6,600 m² of land and 3,300 m² of space.
