Sonnenstein Castle is a landmark visible from afar above Pirna's old town. Since it was first mentioned in a document in 1269, it has been a castle, garrison, sanatorium, state-owned business and, since 2011, the seat of the Saxon Switzerland-Eastern Ore Mountains district office.

Beautiful old town with a large market square. The public toilets are located in the town hall.
