ミュールベルク/エルベの洞窟・トップ20

The oldest part of the building, the Knights' Hall between the two mighty towers, which has been preserved as a ruin, dates from 1335. The lower parts date from the 13th to 14th centuries, the late Gothic cell vaults in the upper floors date from around 1530, the gable tops and roof turrets were added towards the end of the 16th century. In the 15th to 16th centuries the castle was rebuilt as a palace and the north wing was rebuilt in 1890 after a fire. The gatehouse to the front courtyard was built around 1560 and decorated with dormer windows and gables. The palace forms a closed square with late Gothic and Renaissance architectural forms, the wing on the Elbe side, built around 1530 for Otto Pflugk, has a late Gothic brick gable with tracery pattern, the stair towers in the courtyard have Renaissance gables. The cell-vaulted "drinking room" in the southwest tower was decorated with rich paintings in 1532, which are attributed to the circle around Lucas Cranach. The castle is surrounded by a spacious English landscape park with some old trees, which stretches down the mountainside to the Elbe. (https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schloss_Strehla)

Please keep the area clean✌🏻

Churches are always worth a visit. They give hikers a place to relax and rest.

From April 2024, the castle cafe will be open every Sunday from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. Hiking tour around the Tiefenauer ponds, about 6 km, highly recommended for beginners. It's a good walk, you can watch swans, everything is very natural and not crowded. Picnic at the rose garden. The route was easy for my 13-year-old mixed breed dog to manage. Afterwards, coffee in the castle, unfortunately the cake was already gone by about 3:30 p.m. But alternatively we went to the ice cream parlor in Gröditz. Sweet ending!

When you talk about Uebigau Castle, you shouldn't forget the great summer theater in the beautiful castle park. It usually takes place at the end of May or beginning of June. The Broadway musical “Legally Blonde” will be performed in 2024.
