The medieval castle is located in the centre of the three cities Dresden, Chemnitz and Leipzig. The most beautiful knight's castle of Saxony, a closed, completely preserved building complex from the late Gothic era, rises on a steep rock above the Zschopau river.

Various banqueting rooms are available for weddings, family and company celebrations.
