Built around 1200, the former moated castle protects the Hartenstein estate and secures the river crossing. From the upper courtyard and the battlements, you can enjoy unique views over the castle complex and the Hartenstein Forest. The castle, with its structurally almost unchanged rooms, allows visitors to experience the confines and darkness of a medieval fortification. Numerous historical weapons, chainmail, and plate armor are on display. The collection of legal antiquities is impressive, including an executioner's sword and torture instruments. Interesting facts can be learned about Kunz von Kauffungen, the Altenburg prince-robber, who was enfeoffed with Stein Castle from 1448 to 1450. Hartenstein is an idyllically situated small town in the Zwickau district, directly on the border with the Erzgebirge district. The town includes the districts of Hartenstein, Stein, Thierfeld, and Zschocken. Hartenstein is well-connected to public transport and can be reached via the A72 motorway exit at Hartenstein, as well as by bus and the Erzgebirge Railway. _______________________ IMPRINT Daniela Bensch Email: [email protected] Facebook ▸   / danielabensch   VAT identification number: DE231129701 Responsible for content according to Section 55 II RStV: Daniela Bensch Leipzig Editing software: Adobe Premiere Pro Camera: Canon EOS M50 Mark II Music: YouTube Creative Tool
