...the castle hotel offers 4 guest rooms, 3 of which are double rooms and 1 single room. The elegant bathrooms are equipped with shower and toilet. (...) Our rooms are equipped with shielded electric cables and mains isolation switches as well as TV-free. Only organic building materials were used in the renovation: Organic paints, organic hard oil for floors, lime wall plaster. The walls and ceilings are painted with distemper (as in the old days!) or with lime-casein paint. As with the entire restoration of the castle to its former glory, we have paid attention to historical authenticity even in the small details: the existing stock of historical floorboards, windows and doors, as well as fittings was refurbished or supplemented with old building material - and thus an unmistakable atmosphere of well-being was created. (...) Please note that we are a non-smoking hotel - in the interest of the building and your health! Unfortunately, pets are not allowed to stay with us, as we want to offer guests with allergies a carefree stay in our house. (schloss-puelswerda.de/)

The Triestewitz village church was built in 1582 by the then owners of the castle, built by the von Runge family; at that time still without the church tower and the extension with the burial place. Many epitaphs in the church are from the von Runge family. The altar and the baptismal font also go back to the von Runge family. The next most important family in Triestewitz was the von Hartitzsch family, Late 17th to mid 18th century. They had the burial ground and the church tower built. The epitaphs of the von Hartitzsch family in the church and the coats of arms depicted on them show a cross-section of the Saxon nobility. Until 1945 the Triestewitz village church was the patron church. It belonged to the castle and had to be maintained by the lords of the castle. After 1945 the church became the property of the Protestant parish. Extensive renovation work was carried out between 1995 and 1998. Many renovations are still pending. In August 2008 the long-missing baptismal angel returned after decades of absence.
