Location
The New Uhyst Castle is located on the northern edge of the town of the same name, Uhyst, in the Saxon district of Görlitz. It is close to the Spree that flows through the town and borders the Bärwalder See landscape park. A freely accessible park surrounds the castle. A baroque-style garden based on a French model stands out with a strictly geometric structure. The rest of the park was designed in an English landscape park style. A branch of the Spree flows through the park, feeding the smaller of the two ponds with water. There is an island in the larger one in the so-called swan pond.
History
The New Uhyst Castle was built in the middle of the 18th century by Friedrich Caspar Graf von Gersdorff.
The originally baroque castle, which housed a chapel with an altar, pulpit, and organ, was converted into a mansion in the style of neoclassicism in the 19th century. The three-story building on a rectangular floor plan is around 48.5 meters long, 18.5 meters wide, and 13.5 meters high up to the eaves cornice. It has a high basement and a hipped roof. The usable area of the rooms, which are up to four meters high, is around 2,700 square meters. The original six to eight rooms and utility rooms per floor were divided into 20 rooms, each around 18 square meters, as part of the conversion to a hospital. Twelve more rooms were created when the lower roof section was also expanded. As a result of this construction measure, the south-facing sandstone gable was removed in 1951, its counterpart on the entrance front ornamentation was retained, and crowns a central projection. The reality is also adorned with a colonnade and a balcony on it.
