With the exception of Dölitzsch in the southeast, most of the incorporated communities lie to the west of Narsdorf proper.

Bodies of water include ponds and a flooded clay pit as well as several streams of which Katze and Ratte are the main ones.

The oldest recorded part of Narsdorf is the Waldhufendorf Seifersdorf which was first mentioned as Sifridesdorp in a document of 1208.

[4] The Waldhufendorf Narsdorf itself was first mentioned in 1350 as Nordinsdorff and was founded during the German eastward expansion in the 13th century as a settlement in a woodland clearing.

[3] In 1872 the railway station (only a halt since 2006) was opened together with the branch line to Penig and Rochlitz which closed in sections between 1991 and 2000.
