Wolkenburg Castle stands proudly at the top of a steep rock face near Chemnitz. From 1635, the medieval structure was redesigned as a Renaissance castle – and subsequently a baroque castle – by the von Einsiedel family, who kept hold of Wolkenburg Castle for over 300 years. Count Detlev Carl von Einsiedel commissioned the classicist redevelopment of the main building around 1790. The Banquet Hall is still adorned with stucco reliefs and portrait medallions. The two-story library in the attic is reminiscent of a Venetian palazzo. The living rooms provide a glimpse of aristocratic family life. As the owner of the art foundry in Lauchhammer, the count helped to develop a process for the production of large cast-iron sculptures, some of which are now exhibited in the castle park. Several open-air events are held at this romantic venue.
