A ‘lost place’ comes to life
A prisoner-of-war camp, a mental asylum, a hospital: Colditz Castle near Leipzig has a turbulent history. It was once a magnificent hunting lodge, and later became a symbol of the will for freedom. The unrenovated condition of many of the rooms gives the place a unique ‘lost place’ character.
Discover the Renaissance castle of Frederick the Wise and take a virtual tour of the once-stately chambers. Marvel at the creative escape attempts by the Allied officers imprisoned there during the Second World War – including secret tunnels and a secretly built glider.
