A dream of a knight’s castle
ns te
in C astle
The most beautiful knight’s castle truly deserves its title! Take some time for a little rest when you approach the castle: beholding it from the opposite bank of the Zschopau River valley, Kriebstein Castle greets you from across – a dream-like view! The entire estate is almost 600 years old, it lies exactly at the heart of the triangle between the cities of Dresden, Leipzig and Chemnitz and is one of the most popular destinations for outings in Saxony. Explore the monumental residential tower, the castle chapel with its precious murals dating from the 15th century and the “Kriebstein Room”, or rummage through the exciting history of the erstwhile castle lords, the Arnim family. The cozy castle inn »Zum Hungerturm« (The Hunger Tower) invites you for lunch, afternoon tea or a small snack. A visit to Kriebstein Castle is ideally suited for school trips, group or family tours. If you just cannot get enough of Saxony’s most enchanting knight’s castle, attend one of the events, such as the Medieval Castle Festival or the »Castle of Fairy Tales« and experience how knights used to dwell at the castle. Take a look at our online event calendar at www.schloesserland-sachsen.de in good time before your visit.
