Stolpen Castle
Stolpen, Germany, Germany
Stolpen Castle in Stolpen, Germany, sits atop the Schloßberg basalt hill and dates back to defensive works around 1100, first documented in 1222 as a stronghold owned by the Bishops of Meißen for nearly 350 years before passing to the Electorate of Saxony.
Expanded in Renaissance style and fortified into a military fortress in 1675, it famously imprisoned Countess Cosel, mistress of Augustus the Strong, for 49 years until her death in 1765, after which it fell into ruin by the late 18th century.
Restored as a museum since 1875, it now draws about 100,000 visitors yearly to explore its towers, chapel, deep well, and events amid the natural geotope.
