Viewpoint on former position of a castle above the market place
The former castle complex is enthroned on a rocky spur around 25 meters above the Elbe near Stadt Wehlen. It dates back to the 13th century and was part of the regional fortification structure for centuries.
The site has been extensively renovated in recent years. A new lookout tower has replaced the original keep, the site has been secured, made accessible and supplemented with information boards.
Today, the castle plateau and the tower are open to the public. From the top, you can enjoy a sweeping view over the Elbe valley and the town of Wehlen.
