      In 1882 the tower was built by master builder Theodor Dalbazzi. Over the decades, two Saxon kings (King Albert of Saxony, in 1883 and King Friedrich August III, in 1908) have visited the "König Albert Tower.

      Above the entrance to the tower is the "König Albert memorial plaque", which gives an insight into the history of the tower and an unforgettable day in the history of Kirchberg. 53 steps lead the visitor up. Arriving at the viewing platform, he is rewarded with a unique view over the roofs of the town of Kirchberg into the Ore Mountains and Vogtland - a view that hikers will not soon forget.

            There's a good reason to visit Kirchberg.
            Visit the "ANTON-GÜNTHER-BERGHAUS," also known as the "BORBERGHAUS."
            From the KING ALBERT TOWER, you can enjoy the view over Kirchberg and the Ore Mountains.

            Reserve a table at:

            The Borberg, with its splendor and legendary stories, is not only Kirchberg's most famous landmark, but also one of the "Seven Hills of the City."
            For centuries, it has been a hiking destination for Kirchberg residents and guests from all over the world.

            Where all good things come together!
