Old manor house in baroque style, castle park with the oldest tulip tree in Saxony.
In 1744/51, Imperial Count Heinrich von Bünau had the baroque castle and the farm buildings built. From 1852 to 1945, it was owned by the Sahrer v. Sahr family. After expropriation by the GDR, it was used as a children's holiday camp and police school, among other things. On March 20, 1973, Dahlen Castle burnt down as a result of an old defective stove pipe connection. The ruins were supposed to be demolished in 1989.
The first clearing work and the installation of stretched ceramic ceilings with temporary cardboard roofing began in 1990/94. From 2005 to 2008, the castle was used by a Schloss GbR, which began securing and clearing work and organized commercial events. Since 2009, the Schloss- und Parkverein Dahlen e.V. has been striving to save Dahlen Castle from decay.
The oldest tulip tree in Saxony can be seen in the castle park.
