Großschönau Station

Highlight • Rest Area

The Großschönau train station is not particularly beautiful, but trains and buses stop here and you can park wonderfully. In the surrounding area you can see a whole series of formerly stately buildings of companies, former factory owners or other wealthy people. However, many of these buildings are now asleep or have fallen into disrepair.

Hainewalde Church

Highlight • Religious Site

Today's church in Hainewalde is probably the third church building in the town. According to legend, a pilgrimage church was built at the entrance to the Roschertal in the 13th century. The second church was a parish church made of wood, of which only a golden chalice from 1657 and two wide armchairs have survived. All of the interior furnishings are in their original condition from the beginning of the 18th century. This gives the church a special cultural and art-historical value.
Also of interest are the former hospital next to the church with the vows above the door and the church school, which also has an inscription above the door that is still easy to read.

Hainewalde Water Castle Gatehouse

Highlight • Castle

The moated castle is the remaining gatehouse of the old Renaissance moated castle right next to the new castle, a moated castle, probably built between 1200 and 1250, first mentioned in 1383 as a knight's seat, owned by Nicolaus diclus de Warnsdorf in 1392, rebuilt in the Renaissance style by Christoph v. Nostitz in 1564. The "old castle" was largely demolished around 1780 and the remains used to build the new castle.
The moated castle is now privately owned and has been lovingly restored. On Open Monument Day, the owners occasionally allow glimpses. The gatehouse is beautifully reflected in the water.
