Experience, wonder, play, try and discover! Offers for the whole family attract visitors to Scharfenstein Castle in the Ore Mountains.
Since ore deposits and, thus, mining declined in the 16th century, people were looking for other sources of income. This is how the production of wooden toys and Christmas decorations developed from mere hobby to living. The Martin Collection, a unique treasure of traditional folk art objects and toys, is exhibited at Scharfenstein Castle.
Among Saxon castles, almost 800-year-old Scharfenstein Castle is considered a true »family and adventure castle«. Fairy-tale weekends, raffia- and lace-making offers as well as a scavenger hunt together with Karl Stuelpner, the »Robin Hood of the Ore Mountains«, invite visitors to join in. Exhibitions on folk art traditions, the castle history and the soldier Karl Stuelpner complete the family-friendly offer.
