The region's numerous bridges are as typical as the Zwickauer Mulde. Whether made of stone or as a suspension bridge, they are essential for crossing the river.

An extensive palace complex rises on the site of an imperial castle built in the second half of the 10th century, which became the property of the Wettin margraves in 1143. In addition to several Romanesque parts of the building, its shape is largely determined by a Gothic renovation of the Margrave's castle in the last quarter of the 14th century. Further renovations and new buildings took place at the end of the 15th century and in the 16th century, when the castle was used as a secondary residence, widow's residence and hunting lodge for the Wettins. In total, Rochlitz was a residential palace for members of the Saxon royal family eight times. From the 18th century onwards, the castle served as the seat of authorities (justice office, district court), and from 1852 also as a prison, for which major renovations were necessary again. The museum, founded in 1892, was gradually expanded and will in the future take up almost the entire castle. Source: Wikipedia
