Castle of Wolkenburg, Medieval fortress in Limbach-Oberfrohna, Germany.

The castle rises from a steep rock face, featuring a grand banquet hall decorated with stucco reliefs and portrait medallions throughout its stone walls.

The von Einsiedel family transformed the medieval structure into a Renaissance castle in 1635, maintaining ownership for three centuries until its conversion to a museum.

The two-story library in the attic mirrors Venetian palazzo design, containing collections that demonstrate the refined tastes of German aristocratic families.

Visitors can access the permanent exhibition and special displays using the schlösserlandKARTE, which includes entry to both the castle and surrounding park grounds.

Count von Einsiedel developed specialized methods for creating cast iron sculptures in his Lauchhammer foundry, with examples displayed throughout the castle gardens.
