Wolkenburg Castle
The Count’s
Lovely Cabinets
Wolkenburg Castle is perched high above
the Mulde Valley on a steeply sloping
cliff. The medieval castle complex was remodeled
starting in 1635 by the von Einsiedel family
into a Renaissance castle and later a baroque
castle and remained in their possession for over
300 years. Around 1790, Count Detlev Carl von
Einsiedel had the main building redesigned in
a classicist style. To this day, stucco reliefs with
symbols of the day and seasons and portrait
medallions adorn the Banquet Hall.
The castle’s two-story library in the attic is
reminiscent of Venetian palazzi. Some of the
count’s living quarters today reveal further
insights into the life of the noble family. As the
owner of the art foundry in Lauchhammer, the
count had a process developed for the production
of large cast-iron sculptures, some of which can
still be admired in the castle park today. The
romantic ambiance regularly serves as a backdrop
for open-air events.
