Burgkemnitz Castle

Burgkemnitz Castle, also known as the manor, is a listed building in the Burgkemnitz district of the municipality of Muldestausee in the district of Anhalt-Bitterfeld in Saxony-Anhalt, Germany. In the local register of monuments, the castle is listed as an architectural monument under the registration number 094 96603. It has the address Schlaitzer Straße 14.

The castle complex emerged from a medieval moated castle and in 1665 passed from the possession of the von Koseritz family to Bodo von Bodenhausen. Today's two-storey building with its three wings was built in 1869 under Hans Bodo Freiherr von Bodenhausen. In the neo-Renaissance style, some older parts were included. The last owner after the Second World War until the expropriation during the land reform in the Soviet occupation zone in 1945 was the district administrator Hans Kraft Freiherr von Bodenhausen. The castle was then used as a recreation home and SED party school. Caritas acquired the site after the fall of the Berlin Wall and erected some new buildings, known as Wohn- und Förderstätte St. Lorenz. The castle itself is empty.
