Because of its unusual appearance and deformed beams, this half-timbered house on Schlossgasse is called the “Witch House”. It dates back to the 16th century and is also called the "House of Lies", "Temple of Idols" or "House of Rabbits".

Gatehouse at Colditz Deer Park

Highlight • Historical Site

The gatehouse once marked the entrance to the electoral hunting ground. Elector Johann Georg I had the area enclosed by a seven-kilometer wall in 1624. You can still see some remains of the wall today. In the middle of the 18th century it was no longer used as a hunting ground, and the forest behind it is now a popular recreational area.

Stone Bridge in the Colditz Game Park

Highlight • Bridge

Until the middle of the 18th century, the zoo was used as a game reserve and as a hunting ground, primarily by the Wettin rulers. A whole range of different types of hunting are presented on the explanatory boards, from baiting to suspended game hunting, bear hunting with nets and songbird catching.

May 29, 2023,Wanderung Schloss und Tiergarten Colditz 🏰🌳🚶‍♂️🚶‍♀️🙃

The historical Tiergarten Colditz was created in the 16th century as a game reserve and expanded over the course of 100 years to become a hunting ground and place of entertainment.
Colditz Castle is one of the largest Renaissance castles in Saxony. Overnight stays in a youth hostel are possible in the castle 👍

Rehearsal weekend at Colditz Castle. And in the afternoon, a short tour in the home zone.
The Tiergarten was a hunting ground surrounded by a 7km long wall. And today we practically ran from gatehouse to gatehouse.
The lady at the Zschirlaer Torhaus was also happy about a little serenade ;)
