Voigtsberg Castle

Highlight • Castle

There is a lot to see at Voigtsberg Castle: The building probably originated around 1200 and has since been expanded several times and used for various purposes. So you can not only take a look at the history of a medieval castle, but also learn more about the mining authority, the prison and the school that were later housed here.

Today you will find three museums in the walls in addition to the historical costume collection and the historical district archive: the carpet museum, the mineral vault and the illusory. You can also enjoy the view and stop off at the restaurant.

Voigtsberg Castle

Highlight • Castle

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.

View from the Bergfried Tower at Voigtsberg Castle

Highlight • Viewpoint

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 👍

Japanese Cherry Tree at Gartenstraße/Schlossstraße

Highlight • Natural Monument

A small square was created at the corner of Gartenstrasse and Schlossstrasse, with a Japanese cherry tree as its focal point. A continuous bench runs along the perimeter in a semicircle.
The tree was donated in 2020.
