Bad Liebenwerda

Bad Liebenwerda is a spa town situated along the Schwarze Elster river with a medieval castle complex featuring the Lubwartturm keep as its main structure. Multiple wellness facilities throughout the municipality provide peat bath treatments available year-round.

The town received its first written mention in 1231 and gained city status in 1304 under the rule of the Electorate of Saxony. This transition to city status marks the place's growing importance in the region.

St. Nikolai Church displays Gothic architecture and shapes the town's appearance with its presence. A museum inside showcases works by composer Carl Heinrich Graun, who came from this area.

The spa facilities operate throughout the year and most visitors can access the baths at their convenience. It helps to check beforehand which wellness centers offer which treatments.

The Lubwartturm, built around 1207, is the oldest structure and serves as the central landmark of the entire castle complex. This keep once guarded an important trade route that ran along the Schwarze Elster.
