Cradle of the German region of Saxony. Among the monumental buildings of this village stands Albrechtsburg Castle and the Gothic Cathedral, both detached. Albrechtsburg Castle, which has a spiral staircase, is the oldest example of a Renaissance residential castle in Germany. Below the castle hill lies the historic quarter of the city with the beautiful town hall in the market. A beautiful late medieval city, highlighting its flat roofs, which offer a picturesque panorama and at the same time are superbly romantic that can be seen from Castle Mountain (Burgberg).
