Schloß Hermsdorf
Ottendorf-Okrilla, Germany, Germany
Schloss Hermsdorf in Hermsdorf, part of Ottendorf-Okrilla near Dresden in Saxony, Germany, originated as a Renaissance manor acquired by Otto von Carlowitz in 1461, with Christoph von Carlowitz building the elongated core between 1553 and 1575 featuring three protruding towers, a walled courtyard, and moats reminiscent of early Moritzburg.
After fires in 1561 and 1729, it underwent major Baroque renovations from 1654 by Ezechiel Eckhardt and later by George Bähr—architect of Dresden's Frauenkirche—adding mansard roofs, a central gable, and oval windows, while owners like Flemming in 1699 laid out a French garden evolving into Saxony's first English landscape park under von Schönberg.
Owned by figures like the Dohna family for pietist gatherings from 1800, it now stands as a protected cultural monument amid its historic park, hosting local events.
