Rittergut Schletta
Nestled in the Saxon landscape near Meißen, a former monastery now serves as a manor house and farm building of the Schletta 13; 14 estate. The complex, comprising the manor house (No. 13) and a farm building (No. 14) with a horse-driven mill hall, stands as a testament to regional architecture and history.

The origins of the estate date back to 1650, marking the foundation and commencement of construction for the monastery.

Today, the buildings are protected as a cultural monument in Saxony, thus preserving their historical significance.
