Zeughaus

The Zeughaus is a stone structure with multiple floors in Sebnitz, featuring typical Saxon architectural elements in its facade. The solidly built structure with its regular window openings defines the character of its surroundings.

The building began as a wooden arsenal in 1728 commissioned by Augustus the Strong, the Saxon ruler. About a century later it was entirely reconstructed in stone and subsequently enlarged with an additional floor.

The building takes its name from its original purpose as a weapons storage facility and still displays the craftsmanship of Saxon construction. The solid stone walls and sturdy roof convey the care invested in its original creation.

The location is accessible on foot and offers good access for visitors exploring the region. Nearby information materials and trail guides help with orientation as you explore the surrounding landscape.

A historic pond below the Zeughaus dates back to the 15th century and was converted to meadow before World War I. The pond was later restored and still shows traces of its long past.
