About Konigstein Fortress
It’s grandiose; it’s immense; it’s unconquerable. One of Saxony’s most popular tourist attractions, Konigstein Fortress occupies the entire hilltop which is as big as 13 football fields. The original castle, first mentioned in 1233, was not this huge but was expanded in late 1500s and became a citadel of more than fifty buildings surrounded by solid walls. During centuries it was used for various purposes - a castle, a monastery, a military hospital, a country retreat and a state prison. Since 1955 the fortress complex has been opened to the public as a military and historical open air museum with many superb features like the giant wine barrel of Augustus the Strong and the second deepest water well in Europe.
