"High above the Müglitz Valley, perched picturesquely on a steep cliff, sits Lauenstein Castle, a gem of Saxon Renaissance architecture. Historical sources are silent about the castle's origins. Lauenstein was most likely founded around 1200 as a border fortress. Whether it was built by the Margraves of Meissen or the Bohemian noble family of Hrabischitz to secure their territory remains uncertain. Lauenstein was first mentioned in writing in 1241. Even today, the ruins on the outer rocky spur are a reminder of the medieval castle."
