The Gnandstein Castle is considered the oldest surviving Romanesque fortification in Saxony.

The museum in the castle is also definitely worth seeing, but this is currently on winter break and will only be open again after March 18th. It contains historically furnished rooms from all eras, a chapel with late medieval altars that are well worth seeing and a kind of depot exhibition. Furniture, crockery, glasses, pictures were arranged together in a large room like in a museum depot. You can see the difference between a Bohemian glass from the Baroque period and its neo-Baroque copy from the Gründerzeit in a large display case. Finally, you should climb the castle keep. From there you have a wide view of the surrounding area.

The castle was built as a Romanesque complex at the beginning of the 13th century. The keep was built in the middle of the 13th century. The castle chapel was built around 1500. The interior was completely redesigned at the beginning of the 18th century. In the years 1994–2004 the castle was restored. Today it houses a museum. A recommended visit.
