The castle was in great shape. It has been well maintained. Turrets and towers were easily accessed and contained displays relevant to the rooms use.
Nice castle Interesting basement and water system as other castles in the area Low rating because no signs! Very difficult to find the parking lot The cafe was also due to the lack of resources closed!
During my recent visit to Stolpen Castle, I was truly captivated by the rich history and well-preserved architecture of this medieval gem. The impressive fortifications, including the fascinating basalt columns, offered a unique insight into the engineering marvels of the time. Wandering through the beautiful castle gardens, I was struck by the serene atmosphere and the stunning views of the surrounding landscape. As a history enthusiast, I particularly enjoyed exploring the living quarters and learning about the life of the famous prisoner, Countess Cosel. Overall, Stolpen Castle is a must-visit destination for anyone looking to immerse themselves in the enchanting past of this remarkable fortress.
Amazing place, great castle to visit. Entrance fee is 7 euro for adults. I really enjoy the atmosphere and views. The Stolpen castle was also built with basalt columns and you can see beautiful basalt on its premises. It takes around 1-2 hours to view the whole place.
Great castle for family. It is free and open to the public. There is also an ice cream shop near by, having diverse tastes.
Unfortunately after 500years and a few wars not all of it remains standing But it tells a story witch is pretty interesting The price is 7€pp and for parking you have to walk a few meters it's below at the hill you can also park at the old square but it's only for an hour The town around it is also pretty cute to walk in
A fantastic castle with much to see and many rooms to investigate and stairs to climb.
Beautiful castle, exhibitions in several languages, amazing views
