Leuten Castle celebrates 300 years: Rose Festival inspires visitors!

Last weekend a very special event was celebrated in the castle courtyard from Leuben-the Rose Festival on the occasion of the 300th anniversary of the impressive baroque building. Many visitors flocked to the celebration, which is now taking place in the third year. The festival not only attracts rose lovers, but also combines regional craft, culture and history in a colorful program.

The castle owner Marion von Sahr, who organizes the event with a lot of commitment, noticed the good development of the roses in the castle garden. So it was only logical to create a festival from this flowering sight. Among the participants was the Müller tree nursery from Oschatz, which contributed to the event with a colorful range of roses. Owner Melanie Müller-Leuteritz raved about the variety of her plants.

cultural and historical heir

Schloss Leuben, which is considered an architectural masterpiece of the Saxon Baroque, was designed by Johann Chrioff Knöffel. The client, Hans Gottlieb von Thielau, was a high -ranking officer and August the strong. Despite its eventful history, the castle survived two and a half centuries including two world wars without serious damage. However, mismanagement has been endangered in recent decades, which led to the foundation of the Leuben Schlossverein e.V. in 2004. This actively campaigned for the rescue of the building, which threatened to collapse at the time.

As part of the festivities, Marek Schurig, the chairman of the Leuben Castle Association, was happy about the positive response of the guests. Patron Leo von Sahr said that the festival was not only a tribute to the history of the castle, but also a sign that it is actively used and the population included.

a festival for the senses

About 500 visitors were expected to the rose festival this year, and the tours through the castle and garden were quickly booked up. The combination of nature experience and historical flair attracts more and more people. The reactions of the guests were consistently positive. In bright weather, those present were able to look forward to a diverse program that inspired both young and old.

The castle itself is not only a culinary, but also an architectural experience. It contains elements of early classicist architecture and offers a feast for the eyes for those interested in architecture. The historic walls tell of a glamorous past in which Leuben Castle once served as the princely summer residence. The baroque pleasure garden and the surrounding water systems invite visitors to immerse themselves in another time.

The Rose Festival 2025 will certainly be remembered by many and is another step to revitalize and long -term preservation of this piece of jewelry in Saxon history. The enthusiasm of the organizers and the joy of the guests show that Castle Leuben is a place of encounter and cultural exchange.
