Marienberg Fortress
The Marienberg Fortress is the city's landmark that can be seen from afar and at the same time bears witness to more than 1000 years of history. With the Marienkirche, the fountain house from the Renaissance and the Fürstengarten (open April to October), the castle tour touches on the most important components of the fortress.
