Schloss Droyßig, Cultural heritage castle in Droyßig, Germany.
The castle rises above Zeitz Forest with its double ring of walls, six semicircular towers, and central round keep surrounded by a wet moat.
The medieval compound originated in the early 13th century at a strategic road junction, later undergoing Renaissance modifications during the 17th century.
The castle functions as a municipal center, hosting library services, wedding ceremonies at the registry office, and seasonal markets throughout the year.
The castle stands approximately 60 kilometers from Leipzig, offering visitors access to hiking trails connecting to Haynsburg Castle and the Breitenbach forest playground.
Since 1870, the castle maintains a brown bear enclosure within its grounds, providing visitors an opportunity to observe these animals in a historical setting.
