Wörlitz castle is one of the first buildings in neo-classic style outside of England. It was built by Friedrich Wilhelm von Erdmannsdorff between 1769 and 1773 on the occasion of the marriage of Prince Leopold III of Anhalt-Dessau
The moated castle in Heldrungen was founded in 1217. After complete destruction it was rebuilt between 1664 and 1668. Remarkable are its defense walls.
