Hinterglauchau Castle

Glauchau was founded by a colony of Sorbs and Wends, and belonged to the lords of Schönburg as early as the 12th century. Hinterglauchau Renaissance-style castle was built from 1470 on the site of a castle built by the Lords of Schönburg around 1170 and has been the center of their rule for centuries . With the construction of the parts of the building, later called Castle Fordglauchau, the facility was expanded towards the city from around 1525. At the same time the main castle was rebuilt. In the early 20th century a museum was set up in the castle.
