Chemnitz Castle Church and Castle Hill Museum in Chemnitz Castle, located on Castle Hill. Information: The first church was built as a monastery church in the 12th century. Through extensive renovations, Abbots Heinrich von Schleinitz and Hilarius von Rehburg commissioned a new church in the style of a three-aisled, late Gothic hall church. The chief architect was Andreas Günther, who completed the reconstruction in 1523/25. Former Benedictine monastery, later a castle, now the Castle Hill Museum. 13th century.

Medieval hilltop castle on a peak, irregularly rectangular in plan, upper castle presumably largely made of wood and timber framing, lower castle enclosed by a wall. - 1372 ("slosz Gryfenstein" in the treaty between Emperor Charles IV and King Wenceslas with Frederick, Balthasar, and William of Meissen), - presumably abandoned after 1372, - archaeologically investigated after 1969, From 1969 onwards, excavations by local historians Günter Schubert and Joachim Seyffarth uncovered traces of a settlement in the form of a castle, built around 1200 during the so-called great expansion of the region, on the Greifensteine. The finds included, among other things, crossbow bolt tips, horseshoes, and horse spurs, which are now housed in the Archaeological Archives of the Saxon State Office in Dresden. There are also two other documented references. According to an article by Leo Bönhoff, Greifenstein Castle is documented for the period 1349 to 1372.

Now, at an elevation of approximately 700 meters, past the mountain hotel, we see the Greifensteine (Griffin Stones). Unfortunately, we can't climb up, but we learn that the turnstile for the path to the viewing rock was damaged (September 9, 2024). There was once even a castle on the rocks, first mentioned in 1350. Here's our entire hike https://youtu.be/jglyT269hvE

The first documentary evidence was found around 1350 in the fief book "Friedrich the Strict".

Like the neighboring villages of Neukirchen and Burkhardtsdorf, Klaffenbach was a tributary village to the Benedictine Abbey of St. Mary in Chemnitz. These villages were sold in 1543 (according to other sources, 1547) to the wealthy Annaberg citizen Wolff Hühnerkopf, owner of several silver mines and master of the mint. He had the moated castle, now known as "Klaffenbach Water Castle" (older name "Neukirchen Castle"), built around 1557. After several changes of ownership, the castle came into the possession of Baron Dietrich von Taube, a court marshal of the Electorate from the Baltic region, in 1615. The castle's current appearance is said to be the result of the reconstruction under Taube beginning in 1616. The castle remained in the possession of the von Taube family for over 200 years. In 1819, the factory owner, merchant, and trader Carl Heinrich Hähnel from Schneeberg acquired the castle complex. The castle subsequently changed hands several times. In 1926, the municipality of Klaffenbach became owner of the manor (the moated castle's farmyard), and from 1934 onward, the moated castle as well. Subsequently, it was used by the Reich Labor Service (from 1935 to 1945) and as a youth correctional facility (1947-1989). After extensive renovation in the 1990s, the castle and its adjacent farmyard were converted into a cultural meeting place. Other buildings in the farmyard housed a hotel and a restaurant.

Worth seeing building with a nice walk
