The Radeberg Castle Mill was first mentioned in documents in 1445 and, as the oldest mill in Radeberg, can look back on a long history. After the last major renovation in 1982 by master miller Günter Sonntag, it was in operation as a 3-ton wheat mill until mid-1996. The mill has been open to visitors since the German Mill Day in 2010. After the building has been renovated, a mill museum will be set up, and event rooms and overnight accommodation will be created.

Unfortunately we found it locked, but it was impressive from the outside and there were definitely a few photos inside.

Things are looking good for the castle, both structurally and for the future,

The Hermsdorf Palace Park with its canal was laid out as a baroque garden in the 18th century and later redesigned in the English style. The castle itself dates back to the 16th century, but was restored in Baroque style after a fire in 1729. Around 1890 the ballroom was redesigned in the rococo style. The castle was owned by various Saxon noble families, including the princes of Schönburg-Waldenburg. Today the castle can be rented as an event location.
