Remembrance of the village of Stöntzsch, which was buried by open-cast mining. View towards Pegau and the Profen open-cast mine. Hikes along the Elsterfloßgraben to the Werbener See are inviting.

November 24, 2025, Pegau Water Tower

The water tower, at over 45 meters, is the tallest structure in Pegau. It was built in 1906 according to plans by Otto Enke, a Leipzig-based architect who was born in Pegau. As a nod to the remarkable history of his hometown, he gave it the form of the Vestner Tower of the old Nuremberg Imperial Castle. The water tower's function is to compensate for fluctuating water consumption via an elevated reservoir, ensuring a constant water pressure. The reservoir has a capacity of 140 cubic meters. The structure underwent a thorough renovation in 1995/96. https://www.stadt-pegau.de/tax_kategorie/denkmaeler/

November 24, 2025, Altes Postamt Pegau

The building was constructed in 1926 and used as a post office and living quarters for postal workers until 1994. Until August 2014, Deutsche Post used part of the building as a distribution center; the remaining rooms remained unused for many years. In 2014/2015, the building was lovingly and meticulously restored in accordance with historic preservation guidelines, preserving everything that could be saved: with great patience and attention to detail, old windows and doors were refurbished, the floorboards were sanded and sealed, and the walls were treated with clay plaster. Several guest apartments and event spaces were gradually created. https://www.altes-postamt-pegau.de/

The manor house was built around 1580 and rebuilt in the Baroque style in the 18th century. Opposite is a garden house and a small orangery.
