Nice old castle, but unfortunately nothing happens here anymore. You can't go in either. But it's nice for hiking and looking.

A beautiful old castle that looks more like a castle. It can only be visited on certain days. But we were able to see the castle from a different perspective in the moat.

Hiked over the Grabentour from Krummenhennersdorf to the castle. Approx. 4.5 km. Unfortunately the castle has been closed for some time. You can read more about it online. Lots of statements of intent but nothing behind it. Lost place! But you can walk around outside and feel the flair of bygone times. Maybe it will be restored at some point. It would be nice because this needs to be preserved!

The castle as such is not a lost place, as you can read on Wikipedia. Or in the free press Chemnitz, quote March 29, 2023: Mathilda Martina Huss has won the Meissen cathedral builder Knut Hauswald as the architect for her project. Both announced the next steps in the million-dollar project on Tuesday. The building application should be submitted shortly. Quote end. An extension was added to the castle during GDR times, so that it lost its original shape. With the loss of its status as an FDGB home after the fall of the Wall, it was initially used as a speculative property. As already mentioned, it now has a new, committed owner and is beautifully situated. There is an outdoor swimming pool and a mining museum nearby (Lichtloch Rothschönberger Stolln), which is also worth a visit. You can go hiking in the area and do the Grabentour. As far as I know, the castle itself cannot yet be visited or was officially accessible on the open day.

All entrances barricaded... Huge facility. Walkable moat. There is something mysterious about the castle. Huge coal bunker with a conveyor belt - certainly not for the caretaker.
