Schloss Grochwitz stands in Herzberg (Elster) (Landkreis Elbe-Elster), in Brandenburg, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.
Schloss Grochwitz stands at the edge of a former village now absorbed into Herzberg (Elster), within a park that also hosts the town's zoo. Built in the 18th century for Heinrich von Brühl on the site of a much older manor estate, it endured looting, fires and successive occupations before being restored to an appearance largely shaped by the 19th century. It is now privately owned and run as a hotel and event venue, which means visits are mainly limited to the grounds and the surrounding park.
What to know
- The Schloss is run as a hotel and event venue, so the interior is not open for general visits.
- The surrounding park contains Herzberg (Elster)'s town zoo, which holds an annual festival.
- The present building largely dates from 19th-century reconstruction after several fires, including one in 1992.
- The site is listed as a Baudenkmal.
- No visiting hours or admission fees are published, access is mainly through the park grounds.
