History of Rochlitz Castle

The over thousand-year-old castle is, beside Albrechtsburg Castle Meissen, one oft he most important seats of the Wettins. The rooms tell of the changeful history of Rochlitz Castle, which was determined by phases of intensive use as imperial castle, electoral residence, state prison, place of exile, boy’s school, hunting castle and widow’s seat right up to neglect and decay.
