Description

Schloss Rammenau in Rammenau near Bischofswerda in the district of Bautzen is one of the best-preserved Baroque country palaces in Saxony. The complex, created in the 18th century, includes a cour d'honneur, cavaliers' houses, a knightly estate and a park. Rammenau was always a knightly estate of the lower nobility. Ernst Ferdinand von Knoch had the complex, which seems almost like a princely residence, erected from 1720. The interiors bear witness to the noble domestic culture of the 18th and 19th centuries.
