Schloss Weesenstein
Schloss Weesenstein is a ''Schloss'' located in , a small village, part of Müglitztal in the Müglitz river valley, around south of Dohna in Saxony, Germany.
==History==
A castle was erected here sometime around 1200, built with the purpose of defending the border to the Kingdom of Bohemia; it was mentioned in written sources for the first time in 1318. The oldest part of the presently visible castle is its central round tower, erected sometime around 1300. The castle was built for the burgraves of Dohna; the burgraviate was incorporated in the Margraviate of Meissen in 1400 and in 1406 the castle was transferred by the margrave to the von Bünau family in gratitude for their support in the Dohna Feud. The Bünau family transformed the defensive castle into a residential ''Schloss'' in 1526–1575, and successive generations would expand and rebuild the ''Schloss'' in stages. It continued to be the main seat of the family for about 350 years. As a consequence of the Seven Years' War of 1756–1763 the family however lost a substantial part of their wealth and had to part with the castle which subsequently passed into the hands of the von Uckermann family.〔 The Uckermann family owned the castle for two generations and continued the process of embellishing the estate, not least the garden.〔
From 1830, the ''Schloss'' was used by the rulers of Saxony, the House of Wettin. Several members of the royal family lived in the castle, including three kings: Anthony of Saxony, John of Saxony and George of Saxony.〔〔 After World War I, the castle was sold and in 1933 became the seat of an association for the protection of the heritage of Saxony ((ドイツ語:Landesverein Sächsischer Heimatschutz)).〔 During World War II, the castle was used for safekeeping most of the collections of the ''Kupferstich-Kabinett'' (Collection of Prints, Drawings and Photographs) of the Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden or Dresden State Art Collections. Because of this, the castle and its contents were spared from destruction during the bombing of Dresden in World War II. After the war, the castle was used to house refugees before it was taken over by the state.〔 Today it belongs to the state-owned company State Palaces, Castles and Gardens of Saxony ((ドイツ語:Staatliche Schlösser, Burgen und Gärten Sachsen)).〔 It houses a museum and 35 of the rooms of the castle are open to the public.
