Hoyerswerda Castle and City Museum

Highlight • Castle

A Renaissance castle was built in the 16th century on the foundations of a former moated castle from the 13th century. Later, in the 18th century, changes were made in the Baroque style. It is the oldest building in Hoyerswerda. Today it houses the city museum.

Electoral Saxon Post-Mile Column, Hoyerswerda

Highlight • Monument

Set up on the market square in 1730, it was given Prussian mileage information after 1815 and had to change to the station hotel in 1895 for traffic reasons, was then placed in front of Hoyerswerda Castle in 1955 and returned to its original location on November 18, 1994. The original block of letters is in the entrance area to the museum in the castle and the original coat of arms in the Ringelnatzhaus in Wurzen.

Hoyerswerda Market Square

Highlight • Historical Site

The pretty market square of Hoyerswerda has a lot of history. The town hall, with its Renaissance facade and golden town hall clock, dates from 1449 and is a listed building. If you look around further, you will find the pillar of the course Saxon post milestone. Move a little closer to them, because then you can see Prussian mileage on their surface. The column has stood in this exposed position since 1730.

The striking Sorb Fountain nearby reminds of the time when the area around Hoyerswerda was Sorbian.

Sorben Fountain, Hoyerswerda

Highlight • Monument

On the market square of Hoyerswerda there is a fountain with a couple in Sorbian peasant clothes on the water-dispensing column. It is called the Sorb Well. Hoyerswerda has a particularly close relationship with Sorbian history and culture.
In 1912 the Domowina, the umbrella association of Sorbian associations and organizations, was founded here.
The Sorb Fountain is a reminder that the Sorbs have shaped Upper and Lower Lusatia for many centuries. In the seventh, eighth and ninth centuries, they were the only inhabitants of this area.
The fountain is the work of the sculptor Jürgen von Woyski, who lived in Hoyerswerda for 45 years and participated in the artistic design of the Neustadt.
The Sorb Fountain initially stood in the courtyard of the Ortenburg Castle in Bautzen before it was given its current location in 1994.

St. John's Church (Johanneskirche) Hoyerswerda

Highlight • Religious Site

Together with the castle, the Johanneskirche is one of the oldest buildings in the city. The parish has formed a parish together with the villages of Elsterheide and the Krabatdorf Schwarzkollm. The Sorbian character, which is always associated with a strong ecclesiastical character and diverse traditions, can still be felt today.
