Love at first sight

Autumn view on Klaffenbach Castleenlarge view

Visitors cannot but fall in love with the charm of this castle to the south of Chemnitz which hardly anyone will want to call a ”castle“. This white Renaissance jewel is poised almost weightlessly above the waters of Wuerschnitz river which fills the castle moat. The unique sweeping ogee arch roof looks much too ornate and the picturesque view too friendly to appear splendid or even well-fortified.

The wedding room is especially popular among those who are in love and who want to take their marriage vows with the good spirit of Fraeulein von Taube, who once refused to marry the ugly burgrave of Rabenstein, watching over them. However, she had to pay the price as she was immured alive in the castle tower by her own father.

The other rooms which have been reconstructed according to old handcraft tradition display regional and international artwork. The castle grounds include a friendly hotel and numerous studios surrounded by a golf course and riding stables.
