Schloss Friedersdorf stands in Neusalza-Spremberg (Landkreis Görlitz), in Saxony, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

The Schloss Friedersdorf stands in the Friedersdorf district of Neusalza-Spremberg, close to the Spreepark leisure area. Built between 1887 and 1889 for the Royal Saxon chamberlain Hans Leo von Oppell to designs by the Dresden architect Heinrich Schubert, it displays a neo-baroque style with rococo decorative touches, a strictly symmetrical facade and a sandstone portal topped by two obelisks. The estate replaced an earlier timber-framed manor house that itself grew out of a medieval moated residence first recorded in 1392. The building now functions as a care home and is not generally accessible as a visitor site.

What to know

The Schloss now houses a residential care home, so there is no regular interior visit.
Documents and memorabilia of the von Oppell family are kept on the second floor, with no guaranteed public access.
The exterior, with its neo-baroque facade and garden-side terrace, can be viewed from the grounds near the Spreepark.
A modern wing was added on the north side between 2004 and 2005, visually distinct from the historic building.
The building is listed as a Kulturdenkmal in Saxony.
