Gatehouse at Colditz Deer Park

Highlight • Historical Site

The gatehouse once marked the entrance to the electoral hunting ground. Elector Johann Georg I had the area enclosed by a seven-kilometer wall in 1624. You can still see some remains of the wall today. In the middle of the 18th century it was no longer used as a hunting ground, and the forest behind it is now a popular recreational area.
