Neudöbern Castle

Neudöbern Castle, also known as Neudöbern Manor, is a historic manor house in the village of Neudöbern in the Oberspreewald-Lausitz district, in Brandenburg, Germany. It is a listed building, but is in decay.

Construction of the manor house in Neudöbern began at the beginning of the 18th century at the behest of the Saxon Elector Augustus the Strong, and the building was completed in 1703. There was already a moated castle on the site, first mentioned in 1440. It was first used by the noble family of Thilau, who at that time had the fundamental rights over Neudöbern. In 1890, the village became the property of the von Pourtalès family. Around 1900, a western extension was added. After the Second World War, the landowners were expropriated during the land reforms in the Soviet occupation zone and the castle became public property.
