Stolpen Castle with museum rooms and event venue as well as great winter views
Stolpen Castle is a medieval castle complex built on basalt. It is home to the deepest natural basalt well in the world. In the past, the castle served as a prison for Countess Cosel, the most famous mistress of Augustus the Strong. An extensive tour of the castle grounds offers visitors an insight into the past. This includes gloomy dungeons, winding cellar passages, a torture chamber, a hunger hole and striking towers. Visitors can also view castle-specific exhibitions in the museum rooms.
Furthermore, you can enjoy a great view of the fairytale-like, wintry town of Stolpen from Stolpen Castle. The cool winter air also gives you a panoramic view that you don't get in summer.
