    The castle was probably founded in the 12th century as a defensive structure and was the starting point for the settlement of Schwarzenberg and the surrounding area. The former castle received its current form through a conversion into a Saxon electoral hunting lodge between 1555 and 1558 for Elector August of Saxony. In 1851/52 the keep and south wing were raised, and an administration building was added in 1875/76.

      The museum of the city of Schwarzenberg is located in the castle. Occasionally, events such as concerts take place in the ballroom.

        Great restored castle. The city is also worth a trip. Beautiful here!
