Altenburg

Altenburg sits amid the Altenburg–Zeitz loess hills in eastern Thuringia, Germany, where gently rolling farmland meets a compact historic town. Residenzschloss Altenburg rises above the old centre, recalling the period when the town served as the residence of the dukes of Saxe-Altenburg. Altenburg is also inseparable from Skat: the trick-taking card game was developed here around 1810, and the castle houses the Playing Card Museum. Its streets and squares retain a distinctly central-German scale, while Saxony begins nearby to the east.
