        Plauen Castle, also known as “Castle of the Vögte”, is a castle complex that has only been preserved in remnants, i.e. a castle ruin.

        The hilltop castle was built from 1250.


        In April 1945, the large complex, along with large parts of the old town, was significantly destroyed by air raids. Remaining cell blocks continued to serve as correctional facilities after the war and were only demolished in 2013. An archaeological excavation followed.

        In the future, the campus of the Plauen State Academic Academy will be housed in new buildings on the site, with ruined historical buildings being preserved and partially rebuilt.
