Schloss Trebsen, Gothic castle in Trebsen, Germany
Description
Schloss Trebsen is a four-winged castle complex rising above the western bank of the Mulde River, distinguished by its late Gothic architecture with carefully crafted gable forms and detailed stonework. The carved elements throughout reflect the skilled craftsmanship of medieval builders.
History
The castle was first built in 1161 as a water fortress along the Mulde River's banks. A major redesign in 1494 by Georg von Saalhausen transformed it into a residential palace with expanded structures.
