The Castle Zinnberg also called Czynnemburg on a steep slope high above the Zwickauer Mulde dates from the 12th century and belonged to a Altenburger aristocratic tribe. The building has been decaying since the 15th century.
Impressive is the rest of the castle tower, which now resembles a fountain.

The Zinnberg ruin, formerly also called Czynnemburg, is the ruin of a spur castle on a flat, wooded mountain spur above the eastern high bank of the Zwickauer Mulde. The castle rock is located on the western edge of the Zinnberg district, about 2 kilometers south of the city of Penig in the district of Mittelachsen.

The ruin Zinnberg can not be visited. Since it is completely "fenced" by private land.
