Description

The surge Dobitschen even Bachoffsches Castle called, is a moated castle and former manor in Dobitschen in Altenburger Land in Thuringia .

History

The manor was first mentioned in 1204 when Heinrich von Dobitschen had the town's church built. After the von Dobitschen family died out at the end of the 16th century, the property changed hands several times. From 1692 to 1945 it was owned by the Bachoff von Echt family . In 1692 the Saxon-Gotha Privy Councilor Johann Friedrich I. Baron Bachoff von Echt (1643-1726) acquired it from the Schauroth heirs. In 1714 Dobitschen was combined with other holdings of the Bachoff von Echt family under Johann Friedrich Bachoff von Echt to form a family fideikommiss . The baroque renovation or new construction of the palace took place in 1696.

The shape of the estate is still completely preserved, and you can see the transition from the baroque moated castle to later use. The moated castle has been privately owned since 2000. Until it was sold, the property was used by an agricultural cooperative and the Schmölln music school, among others . The cultural monument was damaged in a fire on April 7, 2004.
