Kriebstein Castle
A Dream of a Knight’s Castle
T
he most beautiful knight’s castle of
Saxony rises on a steep rock above the
Zschopau River: Kriebstein Castle. Dietrich von
Beerwalde commissioned the castle complex to
be built as his residence more than 600 years ago.
One of the castle’s highlights is the monumental,
45-meter-high Residential tower with its late
medieval Bartizans and Ridge turrets.
The Kriebstein Room, the Castle Chapel and the
Treasure Vault all contain unique late-Gothic
wall paintings. In the Treasure Vault, guests can
discover parts of the treasure that was hidden in
the chimney of the Residential tower until 1986.
The interactive treasure hunt playfully explores
every corner of the knight‘s castle and reveals
its secrets.
Interactive treasure hunt through the castle
A variety of events such as the medieval festival,
the »Castle of Fairy Tales«, concerts, knights’
dinners and mysterious guided tours through
the ancient castle walls all make for a truly
unique experience. Even the film industry loves
the magic of Kriebstein Castle: As an internationally
popular film set, Kriebstein Castle can
be seen in the Oscar-winning Hollywood production
»The Grand Budapest Hotel«, in the
fairy tale film »Snow White« and in »Sweet
Porridge«, among others.
