  • 1  Pförten Castle (Pałac Brühla w Brodach). Schloss Pförten in the encyclopedia WikipediaSchloss Pförten in the media directory Wikimedia CommonsSchloss Pförten (Q11814738) in the Wikidata database.The castle was acquired by Graf in 1680 Ulrich Hipparchus von Promnitz built on the site of the medieval castle of Pförten. From 1741 to 1749 it was for the count Heinrich von Brühl according to drafts Johann Christoph Knöffels rebuilt in the Rococo style. In the following years it was a preferred residence of Count von Brühl. In 1758 the castle was built on the orders of the king Frederick II burned down by Prussian troops. A restoration took place around 1858. It was rebuilt from 1919 to 1924. In 1945 the castle was damaged again. The renovation of the palace began in the summer of 2013 after the outbuilding and park had already been partially restored.[1].
building: The castle is a three-story horseshoe-shaped representative building, which is surrounded by a castle park and two gentlemen's houses. The layout of the castle, which was given by the previous building, remained unchanged. According to Knöffel's plans, a new main staircase was added to the side of the vestibule. In addition, the extended wings were each given a staircase for internal connection behind their front side. Knöffel had to adapt the very large rooms of the old castle to the changed living requirements by means of fixtures and subdivisions. The representative rooms on the first floor facing the garden remained unchanged in their dimensions. The remaining parts of the castle underwent fundamental changes; Knöffel hid the rooms behind by means of a narrow central corridor with side stairs.[2]
The three-flight staircase of the main staircase designed by Knöffel was located on the side of the vestibule without any axial references. In addition, it had a step parallel to the central axis of the house. At the stairwell the stairs were supported by pillars. The pillars on the middle run were rounded, as was the connection of the steps, so that a visual transition from one run to the other resulted.[3]
Statues and facade: Statues by Johann Gottfried Knöffler adorned the building, two groups of atlases flank the main portal to this day and support the balcony above. On the narrow sides of the castle wings, the cornice split open, with the lower profiles running horizontally, while the upper ones are in the form of a segmental arch. The resulting fields were provided with building inscriptions.[4]
Interior decoration: The basic structure of the wall structure inside was the staggering of the walls in delicate projections and recesses. This wall structure went to the so-called Joachimsteiner wall development back. As a new element, Knöffel added the alternation of wide and narrow fields, divided into a base and a wall zone above. Knöffel does not indicate an entablature in its interior decoration, so the conclusion was only a simple cornice that was torn open in the middle and curved upwards, so that here too cartouches mediated between wall and ceiling at these points.[5]The wall elevation of a cabinet in Schloss Pförten also showed the interior decoration typical of Knöffel. The wall was divided by fields, whereby, due to the small dimensions of the room, an alternation of narrow and wide fields was dispensed with. Her decoration was made through pictorial representations, and the use of the rocaille was limited to the framing, with frame and picture functions being strictly separated from one another.[6]
park: The castle also has a park. There are also cavalier houses. The main cornice of the cavalier houses rising in a semicircle emphasizes the passage below in the central axis. The sandstone sculptures in the park were also created by the Dresden court sculptor Johann Gottfried Knöffler. The Brody Castle Park became one of four founding members in 2010 European Park Association LausitzFrom Count Brühl to Prince Pückler. Further members are the one in Fürst-Pückler-Park Bad Muskau, the East German rose garden in Forst (Lausitz) and the Fürst-Pückler-Park Branitz in cottbus.
