Schloss Kittlitz stands in Löbau (Landkreis Görlitz), in Saxony, Germany. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.
Schloss Kittlitz stands in the Kittlitz district of Löbau, in the Landkreis Görlitz, Saxony. Built on the remains of an older manorial estate in Upper Lusatia, it took its present form through two major rebuilding phases, one in the 18th century and another in 1909-1910. Its distinctive mansard roof and octagonal tower turret recall the period when a Masonic lodge met inside the building. Today the house serves as the local administrative office and cultural centre for the district.
