A little history of SCHLOSS ECKBERG (ECKBERG CASTLE)
In the search for a prominent resting place, the merchant Johann Daniel Souchay, who came from Manchester, bought in 1858 the “Eckberg” vineyard in the small town of Loschwitz near Dresden, as well as two neighboring smaller vineyards. He commissioned Prof. Christian Friedrich Arnold, a student of Gottfried Semper, to build an English mansion in neo-gothic style. To lay out the garden and the extensive park landscape, Souchay entrusted the garden architect Hermann Sigismund Neumann, a student of the Berlin garden director Eduard Neide. In 1861 the castle, the park and the adjoining buildings were completed, and Souchay could enjoy his fairy-tale estate until his death in 1871.
