Reste der historischen Burg zu Eilenburg

Eilenburg, Germany, Germany

---

The Reste der historischen Burg zu Eilenburg are the remnants of a medieval castle on the Schlossberg in Eilenburg, Germany, a site considered a cradle of Saxony's history.

Originally featuring a Gothic portal, a two-story gatehouse, a moat, and a drawbridge, much was lost after Swedish conquest during the Thirty Years' War in 1644, leaving only ruins since the 17th century with 14th-century brick alterations visible.

Today, visitors can explore the preserved Wehrturm as a town landmark, the 12th-century Sorbenturm, and marked foundations like wooden planks in the street, offering panoramic town views amid a historic burggelände.
