Abandoned Neo-Baroque Mansion

I had almost forgotten about this one. As I was going through some photos today, I came across the original .raw-files from this tour and decided to quickly process them.
This castle was built in neo-baroque style between 1854 and 1857.
After 1945, the building was used as the offices for an agricultural cooperative, as kindergarten and as village shop.
After the German reunification, it was abandoned for a couple of years, until an investor bought the mansion and the adjacent properties. He planned to build the mansion into a luxury hotel with a polo course, apartments and 150 residential buildings.
A long story ensued, involving subsidy fraud, foreclosure auctions, indictments and convictions.
Various investors came, but all plans and auctions failed and the castle kept decaying.

In the meantime, vandalism has taken its toll on the ruin of the once grand residence. The outside isn't even woth taking photos anymore, and from what I heard from the guys I was with, the vandalism grows worse by the week.
