The Schloss Königshain stands in Königshain, in the Landkreis Görlitz, in Saxony, and dates from the 18th century. It was conceived by Carl Adolph Gottlob von Schachmann, a scholar and collector who drew up the building plans himself for this baroque residence with rococo touches. The rooms, restored in the early 2000s, now host changing exhibitions of contemporary art, concerts and readings. The Schloss Königshain thus serves as a meeting point between 18th century heritage and present-day artistic creation.
