Probably the most architecturally and artistically valuable room in the castle is the Trinkstübchen. It is located in the southwest tower of the chateau, has a width of only 2.33 m, is 6.50 m long and 3.40 m high. It is the only known drinking room of the Renaissance. The proximity of the paintings to Lucas Cranach cannot be overlooked. It is quite possible that the painter or painters working in Strehla were inspired by the works of Lucas Cranach, who was working at the same time in Hartenfels Castle in Torgau, only 35 kilometers north of Strehla. We know from Cranach that he painted some castles on the Elbe with his sons and employees, or made so-called cloths for them. These are painted cloth panels that were stretched in front of the walls as decoration.
