Schloss Seerhausen stands in Stauchitz (Landkreis Meißen), in Saxony, Germany. No visits are on record for this building.

Schloss Seerhausen, in Stauchitz, Landkreis Meißen, Saxony, no longer stands as a building: the manor house, first recorded in the twelfth century and altered several times over the centuries, was blown up in 1949 after being plundered and stripped of its materials. What remains today is the mound on which it once stood and the surrounding park, which a local association and the municipality have worked to keep presentable for visitors. A visit here suits someone drawn to a site layered with history rather than a surviving structure.

What to know

No building survives: only the mound and the former park of Schloss Seerhausen can be visited today.
The site is maintained by a local heritage association together with the municipality of Stauchitz.
Much of the archive and the artworks that once filled the house were scattered after 1945, with some resurfacing only decades later in public collections.
No opening hours, fees, or access conditions are documented, as the site is an outdoor area presumably open without restriction.
