If the castle is visited, we can only warmly recommend the monastery tavern, which is under Hungarian management. Delicious food at fair, local prices. Just try it out.

Beautiful four-wing complex, 1551 by Heinrich von Gersdorf after the acquisition of the adjacent monastery. Renovation of the abbot's house in the style of the Saxon Renaissance. In 1623 it was bought by Elector Johann Georg I of Saxony Dobrilugk and further expanded. His son Duke Christian I of Saxony-Merseburg completed the castle in 1676

Doberlug Castle, created from parts of the former Dobrilugk Monastery. Eventful history, partly NVA barracks during the GDR era. The entire complex is worth seeing together with Dobrilug Monastery.
