Lichtenwalde Castle in Niederwiesa, Germany

Lichtenwalde Castle in Saxony is best known for its park. The garden stretches high above the Zschopau Valley. Numerous water features and winding paths invite you to discover the grounds of this Baroque castle. [German]

Lichtenwald Castle

The castle is a three-wing complex high above the Zschopau Valley. Part of the building is used as a museum. The Red Salon and the Chinese Room are particularly worth mentioning. The castle chapel from the 15th century offers a Donati organ.

Lichtenwalde Castle Park

Due to its location on a mountain spur, the park of Lichtenwalde Castle does not meet the common geometric requirements of a castle park. Instead, park visitors experience a small-scale system with nested paths. These lead to terraces and stairways that offer views of fountain pools and sculptures.
