Hirschhügel Castle
History of the building+
The hamlet of Kuhfraß was formerly an outwork of the Großkochberg manor. This was inherited by the Parry family in 1825 and converted into Hirschhügel Castle between 1835 and 1838. They were buried in the Hirschhügel burial chapel. In 1892, Count Henckel von Donnersmark inherited the castle. He converted it into a children's home in 1941. In 1945, the owners were dispossessed and expelled by the communists. The castle became an old people's home and in 1978 a psychiatric nursing home.
