Early History and Construction
The knight's seat Kühnitzsch was first mentioned in 1203. Later, a moated castle was built, which was converted into the present-day castle in the 17th century.
Owners
Around 1560, the castle was owned by the Lords of Plausigk. From 1661-1782, the castle was owned by the von Ploetz family. In 1822, ownership changed to merchant Ludwig Freiherr von Kalitsch. In 1945, the owners were forcibly dispossessed and expelled by the communists.
Current Use
Since 2003, the castle has been used as a special needs school and museum.
