The €9 entrance fee is worth it 👍🏻. One of the most beautiful monastery/castle ruins 🏰 I've ever seen 🤩.

Perched atop the mighty rocky massif of Mount Oybin, the ruins of an old castle and monastery stand enthroned. Quiet chants can be heard in the former church, as if the monks were still there.

In the corner plot of Kleine Seite/Weinberg, to the right below the baroque castle complex, there was originally a knight's seat (Hainewalde documents), which was surrounded by a protective moat. The old moated castle was replaced in 1564 by Hans Ulrich von Nostitz with a Renaissance castle, the so-called Old Castle. This was a four-winged complex that enclosed an inner courtyard. The facade was richly decorated with illusionistic decorations (sgraffito technique). Demolition of the Old Castle: 1780, only the wing of the gatehouse remained and was used as a courthouse and prison until 1857. It is now privately owned (not open to the public). Above the portal: the coat of arms of Nostitz.

Hörnitz Castle, beautiful building that was built between 1651 and 1654. Today it is used as a hotel complex.

Nice hotel with very nice park

The location of the castle alone is fantastic! Get there early, the facility closes at 5 p.m. With a guest card you save 20%

The moated castle is the remaining gatehouse of the old Renaissance moated castle right next to the new castle, a moated castle, probably built between 1200 and 1250, first mentioned in 1383 as a knight's seat, owned by Nicolaus diclus de Warnsdorf in 1392, rebuilt in the Renaissance style by Christoph v. Nostitz in 1564. The "old castle" was largely demolished around 1780 and the remains used to build the new castle. The moated castle is now privately owned and has been lovingly restored. On Open Monument Day, the owners occasionally allow glimpses. The gatehouse is beautifully reflected in the water.

If you want to go up to the top, you should be a bit sure-footed and climbing is also necessary.
