In the easternmost and oldest part of Theresienstein Park, on Labyrinth Hill, stands the Labyrinth Ruins. As early as the 17th century, a maze had existed here, created by a Hof teacher for his students. Starting in 1861, city architect Gottlob Thomas developed the idea of creating the ruins of a medieval castle here—in keeping with the spirit of the times. This castle complex, built from 1877 to 1893 as a ruin, consists of a bastioned circular structure and a keep, which is actually an observation tower. The 16-meter-high tower is open to the public and a popular vantage point for Hof residents. Seventy steps lead to the viewing platform, from which one can view the surrounding area of Hof and the Saxon Vogtland region.
