Lichtenstein

Lichtenstein is best known within Saxony for Schloss Lichtenstein, a neo-Gothic castle that rises above the town. Built in the 1840s for the princely House of Schönburg, it gives this small town a distinctive silhouette at the northern edge of the Ore Mountains. Lichtenstein spreads along the Rödlitzbach valley, where wooded slopes and residential quarters lead toward the more industrial towns of western Saxony. The castle grounds and nearby parks reflect the area’s long connection with the Schönburg family, once influential across this part of the region.
