Trebsen

If the sources are to be believed, Trebsen was already a strategically important location in 991, when the Slavic count Bucelin chose it as his seat. Ceramic disks found during excavations prove that the castle site was already inhabited in the 9th and 10th centuries. The first mention of a noble knight named "Heinrich de Trebecin" was discovered in a document from the Bishop of Naumburg from 1161.

Trebsen subsequently developed into one of the largest manors in Saxony. With over 1000 hectares of land and the interest income from 2 towns and over 10 villages, the wealth is documented in the construction of a new castle complex. Around 1494, Georg von Saalhausen acquired the Trebsen manor and began building the castle. The high-quality cell vaults in the first floor rooms are evidence of this construction phase. With the purchase of the manor in 1521, the castle was completed as a four-winged complex under Hans von Minkwitz. Further structural changes were made as the estate changed hands.

In the 18th century, an English-style landscape park was laid out, large parts of which still exist today.
