"The Finsterwald Castle was built as a Renaissance complex between 1559 and 1597 instead of a medieval castle. The building is divided into two parts, the front and the rear castle, each with a courtyard worth seeing." de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liste_der_Baudenkmale_in_Finsterwalde

Cycling

The spacious palace complex, located in the middle of the city, is divided into the front and the back of the castle. The three-storey tower connects with its gateway both castle areas. Especially the back castle with its arcades refers to the Renaissance, whose contemporaries were the builders of the noble family of the Lords of Dieskau.
Today, the castle serves as the seat of the city administration and can not be visited from the inside.

Hiking

The castle buildings are once again used entirely by the city administration. The inner courtyards, which are worth seeing, are accessible during normal opening hours and also on weekends.
The gates of the front castle, which was converted into a fire station in 1925, can still be seen on Geschw. Scholl Street.
