Wurzen Castle
Reside like a prince, feast like a knight
W
urzen Castle is a former bishop’s residence in the center of one
of the oldest towns in Saxony. The residential palace was built
at the behest of Bishop Johann VI von Saalhausen in the 15th century
with two mighty towers, late-Gothic cellular vaults and a drawbridge
over a deep moat. Wurzen Castle has served many functions over the
years, not only as the residence of bishops and electors, but also as a district
court and police station.
Following its sale and extensive restoration in 2002, the castle gates are
now open to restaurant and hotel guests. It’s the perfect place for a castle
brunch, candlelight dinner or a medieval dish served at a festive knight’s
table – and cozy rooms await after the meal. If you’re planning a longer
stay, it’s also worth taking a ride along the Mulde cycle path through the
Wurzener Land region with its castles, parks, manor houses, vast meadows,
quaint villages and the Hohburg Hills.
