Schloss Kuckuckstein, Medieval château in Liebstadt, Germany.
The stone fortress rises from a rocky hill above the Seidewitz river valley, serving as a gate between the Elbe valley and Eastern Ore Mountains.
First documented in 1410, the castle underwent reconstruction in 1453 after suffering damage during the Dohna feud between local burgraves and Margrave William I.
The castle incorporates Romanesque Revival architecture with detailed ornaments, reflecting the 19th-century German nobility's preference for grand structural elements.
Visitors need to arrange guided tours in advance as the privately owned castle maintains limited public access hours throughout the year.
Napoleon I stayed at the castle on September 9, 1813, using its elevation to observe troop movements while commanding an army of 400,000 soldiers.
