The textile manufacturer and city councilor Zschille collected historical art from various countries and incorporated it into his property (e.g., a Gothic gate from Tyrol from 1497, a Gothic loggia, a well from Reiterswiesen from 1579, a column from Pompeii, ceiling beams from the Großenhain monastery, grilles from Aachen, from the Prague synagogue and from the Katharinenkirchhof in Großenhain, wrought-iron fittings from Hradschin in Prague).

The Gartenschaupark was built from 1998-2002 in preparation for the 3rd Saxon State Garden Show. It is approx. 17 hectares in size and represents the main green connection from the open landscape of the Röderaue in the east to the city park in the west and the city center in the north.

A beautiful park with many lakes and seating areas. With luck, you might even spot an otter or two.

Marienkirche in Großenhain, on the Via Regia pilgrimage route. Info: It was built from 1746 to 1748 on the site of a late Gothic hall church. The sacred building is considered "one of the most original spatial creations of Saxon church art of the late Baroque period".

Schloss/Kulturschloss Großenhain. Info: Today, the castle is known as the Großenhain Cultural Center or Kulturschloss, which houses numerous rooms for culture, art, conferences, and events. In the 17th-century records, the building was mentioned as the "Schloss" (castle) of Großenhain. In 1998, the city of Großenhain bought the castle and had it expanded into a cultural center from 2000 to 2002 according to designs by Jörg Springer.

It's always soothing to cycle or walk in the city park. There's always something new to discover. I enjoy looking at the flower beds in the circular park. Hopefully it stays that way.

The Großenhain town hall has two predecessor buildings. The current town hall was finally rebuilt in 1875/76. The style is based on the Italian Neo-Renaissance and you can admire it from the main market.
