When visiting the castle, the Hausmannsturm should definitely be integrated into the program. In addition to the view and the Türmerstube, the stepless spiral staircase is a promotion variant that can not be seen in many towers.

The former castle was rebuilt as a castle in 1706-44. One of the most beautiful parts is the Triumph Gate. The oldest part is the so-called "bottle", a keep from the years 1000. In the castle is the playing card and castle museum.

It houses the exhibition areas Ducal Rooms 17th / 18th Century, 19th / 20th century Century and the playing card museum. The castle church with the famous consolation organ and a building history since the late Gothic as well as the late medieval tower systems are further sights. The ballrooms and the castle courtyard are venues for a variety of cultural events. The castle is the original scene of the Altenburg prince robbery from 1455 (Wikipedia).

The Residenzschloss Altenburg and the playing card museum located in it is a special highlight. You also have to visit the castle church with its Silbermann organ.

A castle full of history. The Altenburg robbery of the princes made the rounds all over Europe at the time.

We were here in April 2020. We didn't have to pay an entrance fee and were able to look around the entire area at our leisure. Here you can take some time and enjoy the view of Altenburg. Access to the tower was not possible that day.
