Schloss Püchau stands in Machern (Landkreis Leipzig), in Saxony, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. Recorded dating: 17th century. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

Schloss Püchau rises on a rocky spur above the Mulde valley, at the edge of the village of Püchau. Its neo-Gothic appearance, with a crenellated stair tower and facades decorated with Tudor arches, dates from a 19th century remodeling carried out by the von Hohenthal family, even though the place is recorded as far back as the early Middle Ages. The building remains privately owned, so a visit is mostly limited to its surroundings and the landscaped park laid out around two ponds. What can be seen is chiefly the exterior architecture, the inner courtyard and the grounds, since the interior is not open to the public.

What to know

  • As the castle is privately owned, the interior cannot be visited.
  • The 12.4 hectare landscaped park surrounding the site can be explored on foot.
  • The castle stands on a spur overlooking the Mulde valley, with a slight incline on approach.
  • No opening hours or admission fees are published, so it is worth checking locally beforehand.
  • The site is located in Machern, in the Landkreis Leipzig, Saxony, near the village of Püchau.
