Its fortifications, towers and walls are silent witnesses to war and peace and invite visitors on a journey back to the medieval era of Saxony. As an administrative centre, it played an important role in the development of new settlement areas. Over the centuries, the castle came under the influence of various noble families, from the bailiffs of Plauen to the powerful Wettin dynasty.
Each of these eras shaped the castle in their own way and left their mark on its architecture and history. Its imposing curtain wall, fortifications, living quarters and chapel bear witness to its preserved unity and originality. Visitors are immersed in a bygone era when knights and noblewomen dominated life within the stone walls. In addition to the permanent exhibition on the history of the castle, there are regular special exhibitions on art and cultural history.
