always worth a trip

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.

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🙈

The survey is primarily of historical significance. This is where the roots of Annaberg silver ore mining lie. In October 1491, Caspar Nietzel came across a silver vein not far from the Frohnauer Obermühle. As a result, in 1496 the “Neustadt am Schockenberg” was built on the opposite bank of the Sehm, which was soon given the name Sankt Annaberg.

Here you will receive a point for the digital hiking pin at SummitLynx. The church history in Schwarzenberg is probably almost as old as the castle, which was built around 1150, because it was common to build a chapel when establishing a settlement. The current church building of St. Georgen, which together with the castle forms Schwarzenberg's landmark, was built between 1690 and 1699 after the little church on the lower market had become dilapidated and too small. The Reformation had already arrived in Schwarzenberg in 1529. https://www.st-georgen-schwarzenberg.de/

This is part of a former moated castle that was built for protection. There is only the cuboid stone defense tower.
