Schloss & Park Lichtenwalde is a historic Baroque ensemble between Chemnitz and Dresden, offering visitors a blend of cultural discovery, garden scenery and family experiences. The castle’s representative rooms and chapel, home to a rare Donati organ, showcase its architectural and cultural heritage. Its treasury museum presents valuable objects from distant cultures, while the landscaped park features pavilions, more than 335 fountains and the celebrated “Seven Arts” water display.

Visitors can explore through guided tours, exhibitions and a year-round programme of events. Seasonal highlights include the Lichtenwalde Pumpkin Festival, with themed displays, carving activities, a giant pumpkin weighing contest and Halloween events. The estate also provides holiday programmes, children’s birthday celebrations, school visits and educational workshops. Its grounds and rooms are available for weddings, company gatherings and private celebrations, with support from an experienced team. Guests can enjoy regional dishes, cakes and pastries at the castle inn, and stay at a modern four-star hotel a short walk away. Tickets, visitor information and group offers are available through the estate’s website.
