Apartment Schloss Prossen

Schloss Prossen (Prossen Castle) is a holiday resi­dence in a former manor house in Saxon Switzerland—situated only 300 metres from the river Elbe and close to the spa town of Bad Schandau. The cen­turies-old building looks back on an eventful history and was in a dila­pi­dated state when Jutta and Torsten Wiesner bought it in 2014. From 2017 to 2019, the con­version and extensive reno­vation of the listed pro­perty was carried out under the direction of the Dresden-based archi­tec­tural firm schoper.schoper. The ori­ginal building structure with its spa­cious halls was exposed, the roof truss was newly con­s­tructed, murals on the walls and cei­lings dating from the Renais­sance period and the Baroque stucco cei­lings were res­tored, and old floors were refur­bished. New addi­tions such as the stair tower have been designed in such a way that they are not per­ceived as a con­trast to the existing building.

The fur­niture, however, sets a clear coun­ter­point to the his­to­rical ambience. Instead of chan­de­liers and antiques, the fur­niture is modern, straight­forward and gives the rooms an ambience that is both elegant and casual. The apart­ments and suites have a loft-like cha­racter: all have open-plan living, dining and cooking areas, some extend on two levels and have sleeping gal­leries, while in other apart­ments, room-dividing fur­niture designed spe­ci­fi­cally for the manor house sepa­rates the various func­tions.

The Garden Hall and the Fire­place Hall are open to all guests. The vaulted cellar, where a wellness area with Finnish and bio-sauna is located in the former castle kitchen, invites guests to relax. The manor house is sur­rounded by a park with old trees—from the his­to­rical pavilion you have a view of the nearby river Elbe as well as the Lili­en­stein, one of the most striking moun­tains of the Elbe Sand­stone Moun­tains.
