Nestled in the foothills of the Ore Mountains between Meissen, Freiberg, and Dresden, the Villa Rotschönberg stretches for one kilometer along the Freiberger Mulde river, surrounded by parks and its own private forest. This former industrialist's villa boasts a long history: since 1830, it was part of a silver ore processing plant, later serving as the manor house of a cardboard factory. In 1904, all the factory buildings were rebuilt in the Art Nouveau style. The cardboard factory burned down in 1958; only the villa survived. Because such a charming yet secluded location is rare, the artist TM Rotschönberg meticulously reconstructed the building and the entire estate to the highest standards, making it available to vacationers. He crafted all the furniture himself to complement the elegance of this Art Nouveau villa. From here, excursions to Saxon Switzerland or Augustusburg Castle are easily undertaken. The signposted Mulde Cycle Path runs alongside the property, and various cycling tours starting and ending at the house can be planned via field and forest paths. Likewise, hiking trails through the landscape shaped by silver mining invite active tourists to admire the still-pristine nature and numerous technical monuments. Those who prefer not to leave the 40,000 m² estate at all are equally well advised, as the tranquil idyll of the park and riverbank is as relaxing as swimming in the clear waters of the Mulde is invigorating.
Art enthusiasts can take a multi-day printmaking course where they can learn the linocut printing technique known as "lost cut." TM Rotschönberg leads this course and provides the printing press and all materials.
Guests rent the entire second floor and the attic of Villa Rotschönberg. This allows large families or small groups to spend their holidays together while still finding private retreats.
