Tips

February 11, 2023

Schloss (Castle) Kaulsdorf was built on a rocky outcrop, the peak of which reaches up to 130 m to the Saale. Two old long-distance paths run on both sides of the spur, which meet below the castle (castle) and cross the river in a ford. It was this ford that prompted the Counts of Orlamünde to construct the building around 1150. Despite several conversions and additions, the medieval character has been preserved. Remnants of the rampart and moat delimit the complex to the north, while a defensive wall encloses the small courtyard to the south.

The castle is now privately owned.

The castle was once an apprentice dormitory during GDR times and is now privately owned. The new owners arrange hunting there.

A beautifully restored castle complex, towering high above the town. Unfortunately, it's not accessible.
