In Germany, a medieval castle is sold for one euro. Along with it, the new owner will receive commitments for repairs that will cost another 20 million.
In Saxony, Schnaditz Castle in Bad Duben, which is about 800 years old, is being sold. The area of the property is 1,012 square meters. Inside there are two defense towers and a real knight's hall.
In 1945, the castle was expropriated, and then during the GDR, the local administration, apartments, a hairdresser, a post office and a kindergarten were established here. After the fall of the Berlin Wall, the building remained empty for a long time.
Now it sells for one euro. But, of course, everything is not just like that. According to the head of the building, Matthias Mith, the new owner will have to spend about 20 million euros on renovations.
"This building is important for our region and for Saxony as a whole. From the outside, of course, it doesn't look very good anymore, a lot of things need to be done, but it has a sealed roof," Matthias Mitt told BILD.
