Schloss Grimma

Schloss Grimma is a castle complex in Grimma featuring multiple building wings, enclosing walls, and structures from different periods. An arch bridge connects the complex to Friedrich-Oettler-Straße, while a historic grain storehouse stands as part of the overall ensemble.

The castle complex took shape in the late 1300s and underwent multiple changes and expansions over the following centuries. These building phases created the layered appearance you see today, combining medieval and later architectural elements.

The castle now serves as a courthouse, giving it an active role in the town's daily life. Walking through its spaces, you encounter both the historical setting and the modern purpose it has taken on.

The castle can be reached via Klosterstraße in central Grimma, where the main features are easily accessible. The site is best explored on foot, and visitors can observe the architecture and layout from the street level and surrounding areas.

Within the complex stands the Amtsbrunnen, a historic well that has been part of the castle grounds for centuries and reflects the craftsmanship of its era. This well demonstrates how practical functions were woven into the castle's architectural design.
