This somewhat austere room is a krankenbett or 'sick room,' which dates back to the mansion's time as a hospital.

In 2017, Tannenfeld was sold to a group of private investors who promised to pour around €10 million ($10.8m) into renovating the historic building. In line with the estate's history, the property will be transformed into a care facility for people suffering from dementia and mental illnesses. The castle will also house a café and events center.

However, according to Google Maps photos from May 2024, there doesn't seem to have been much work undertaken on the mansion yet.
