Spree Castle is a baroque castle in the Spree district of the municipality of Hähnichen in the Görlitz district in Saxony's Upper Lusatia. The former moated castle served as the main building of the manor until its owners were expropriated in 1945, after which it was converted into a residential building. It is a listed historical monument. (Wikipedia) From the outside, it appears to be in dire need of renovation (2025).
