Voigtsberg Castle was the administrative center of the southern Vogtland for almost 600 years. After its destruction in the Thirty Years' War, Voigtsberg Castle was rebuilt as a palace in 1633.

Beautiful view of the panorama of the city of Oelsnitz/Vogtl., on the Schanze, a mountain spur southeast of Voigtsberg Castle, there was a medieval fortification.

You have a great view from the top of the tower and there are stools to sit on. Entry costs 2€ for adults and 1€ for children and only 10€ for groups of 10 people. Highly recommended 👍

The renovation of the castle tower has been ongoing since 2023 and the tower can be climbed again (2 € fee). The climb over 129 spiral steps is always worth it; you will be rewarded by very informative displays about the history in the newly installed tower head and a wonderful view of the town of Oelsnitz and the surrounding area. Signs on prominent landscape locations point the way.

Just walk through the town and look at the lovingly designed details. Then admire the landscape outside the town. 🫠
