Castle complex with museum rooms and event venue and great winter views
Stolpen Castle is a medieval castle complex built on basalt. It houses the deepest natural basalt well on earth. In the past, the castle served as a prison for Countess Cosel, the most famous mistress of Augustus the Strong. An extensive castle tour offers visitors a glimpse into the past. It includes dim dungeons, winding cellar corridors, a torture chamber, a hunger hole and striking towers. Visitors can also view castle-specific exhibitions in the museum rooms.
In addition, you can enjoy a great view of the fairytale, wintry town of Stolpen from Stolpen Castle. The cool winter air also gives you a far-reaching view that you don't get in summer.
