Freudenstein Castle
Treasures of the Earth from all over the World

 A real treasure is hidden at Freudenstein Castle… The Renaissance castle was built in the 16th century on the walls of a 12th-century fortress to protect the town of Freiberg and its silver mining industry. Various features such as the Romanesque round tower, the painstakingly preserved Renaissance stairs and the vaulted rooms are reminiscent of a time characterized by armed conflicts and splendid festivals. But the castle and its history aren’t the only things that attract people to Freiberg… Freudenstein Castle is home to one of the world’s most beautiful mineral exhibitions, the »Terra Mineralia«. Over 3,500 precious stones and minerals from five continents are waiting to be discovered by people of all ages.
