Schloss Grimma, Medieval château in Grimma, Germany.

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.

A chapel mentioned in 1218 forms the oldest part of the complex, which grew from a moated castle of the margraves of Meissen guarding the Mulde crossing; Grimma received town rights in 1220. From the early 15th century the castle was a secondary residence of the Wettin dynasty, and Albrecht the Bold called Grimma his home. Diets met here from 1440, and in 1458 Elector Friedrich the Gentle founded the Leipzig New Year's fair at one of them.

Since 1440 several Landtage (diet assemblies) were held in the castle; at the 1458 diet Elector Friedrich der Sanftmütige founded the Leipzig New Year's fair. In 1511–1546 deputies of the Albertine and Ernestine lines negotiated here, and the "Grimmaischer Machtspruch" settled forty years of disputes over coinage and mining. Today the building houses the Amtsgericht Grimma and an outpost of the Leipzig public prosecutor's office.

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.
