Bellissima opera di Andrea Palladio, che non la vide compiuta.
Tra il novembre 1565 e il marzo 1566, il progetto di Palladio viene trasposto in un modello che impressiona profondamente Giorgio Vasari in visita a Venezia.
Nel gennaio dell’anno successivo si stipulano i contratti con gli scalpellini e i muratori che devono seguire i profili e le misure indicate da Palladio. Nel 1576 è finita la struttura generale. Molti anni dopo, tra il 1607 e il 1611, si realizza anche la facciata attuale, che tuttavia studi recenti stanno dimostrando lontana dall’originaria volontà palladiana. Come già Leon Battista Alberti cento anni prima, così Palladio prende a modello i grandi edifici termali romani antichi. Nella planimetria si possono leggere con chiarezza le quattro entità spaziali chiamate da Palladio a comporre il corpo dell’edificio.
Beautiful work by Andrea Palladio, who did not see it accomplished.
Between November 1565 and March 1566, Palladio's project was transposed into a model that deeply impressed Giorgio Vasari on a visit to Venice.
In January of the following year contracts are stipulated with the stonemasons and the masons who must follow the profiles and measures indicated by Palladio. In 1576 the general structure is finished. Many years later, between 1607 and 1611, the current façade was also created, which, however, recent studies are proving to be far from the original Palladian will. Like Leon Battista Alberti a hundred years earlier, this is how Palladio takes as a model the great ancient Roman thermal buildings. In the planimetry it is possible to read clearly the four spatial entities called by Palladio to compose the body of the building.

The Boxdorf Windmill is a former windmill built in 1849 in Boxdorf, a district of Moritzburg.
Until 1652, the Boxdorfer and the Reichenberger farmers had to grind their grain in the Plauenschen soil and in the (somewhat closer) Ockrilla Lease Mill. With the Saxon Constitution of 1831, the grinding force fell away.
The first mill at this site, a wooden pint mill, was built in 1839 by the miller Münch from Zuendorf on the Boxdorf Galgenberg (also: Gallberg). The grinding mill was able to grind eight to ten talents of flour daily. In 1847, the mill was sold to Müller Friedrich Wilhelm Seeländer from Weferlingen near Magdeburg. The mill burned down in a thunderstorm in 1849 in full operation.
Friedrich Wilhelm sold the remains to his brother Heinrich Christoph Seeländer and ran the Loschwitz watermill himself. Heinrich Christoph rebuilt the mill in 1849 as a stone, defensive-tower-like Dutch mill. This is testified by a sandstone with an engraved year above the original entrance door. Six years later Friedrich Wilhelm returned to Boxdorf in 1855 and took over the mill again from his brother. Around 1860 the house belonging to the mill was probably destroyed by arson. The existing residential building was then built.
In the German War of 1866, the Saxon Army, allied with Austria, gathered near Dresden and occupied the mill. The miller was no longer allowed to grind grain as a pressing.
Friedrich Wilhelm Seeländer died in 1877 as a result of a war suffering. Since his descendants had other professions or were too young, the mill came into foreign hands. Friedrich Hermann Müller bought the mill with three meals and a bakery for 11,100 marks. A lightning strike on 27 June 1887 did not result in a fire. Nevertheless, the roof, wings and wave were destroyed. Since in the meantime more efficient working machinery companies had taken over the business, a repair was no longer worthwhile. The mill came to a standstill.
The owner Müller was granted a concession for coffee and beer serving in 1890. Müller opened an economy and on the tower of the mill a wooden observation deck. This was replaced in 1904 by the still existing stone structure with pinnacles.
In 1921 Paul Gantze purchased the mill and had an electric grinding plant reached inside. He moved the banquet to the neighbouring apartment building. In 1927 he built a small hall. The property became a popular excursion restaurant that was in operation until the 1950s.
