always worth a trip

History The first mention can be found in a document from 1103. The history of the village is directly related to the Lords of Isenburg. Around 1100, Reinbold and Gerlach built the Isenburg in the area of a manor of the Fulda Abbey as the ancestral castle of the Lords of Isenburg. Soon after the castle was built, the first residents settled in the valley and built their houses around the castle hill. Isenburg was a castle village and had special rights such as the status of a free town. However, a town was never founded, as the location of the town did not offer any opportunities for expansion. At the beginning of the 14th century, Isenburg was fortified. The fortifications, which extended over a large area around the castle and valley, not only protected the town, but also served as an advanced security point for the castle. The town fortifications consisted of a wall with four gates. Two gates - the "Alte Porz" and the "Schildpforte"

The moated castle is also known as Hofwall and was probably built in the middle of the 12th century around 1162 to protect the road that passed by. The castle was destroyed during a Hussite invasion. Only the 14 m high tower, which is still preserved today, was preserved. It once had wooden structures and extensions. The moated castle served as a mansion for Leonhard and Nickel von Tannenberg around 1420. Parts of a broken bell were found in the remains of the castle complex in 1770, suggesting that the castle may have had its own chapel. In 1995 and 1996, conservation measures were carried out on the listed Passklausen Tower. The former water-bearing ditch has been preserved except for a section that was filled in in the northern area. The facility was placed under monument protection at the end of 1959.

A landmark of the city of Schwarzenberg, visible from afar.

a wonderful place, also for taking a break

This castle, which dates back to the 14th century, is located directly at the confluence of the Zschopau and Roter Pfütze rivers. Today, a support association takes care of the administration of the buildings and the attached museum. In the idyllic castle park you can discover over 30 different tree species.

It's worth a trip here, but it's very busy on the Advent weekends🙈
