Schloss Zörbig, Medieval château in Zörbig, Germany.

Schloss Zörbig is a castle complex located on a hill to the south of the old town center, occupying a large area of grounds. The buildings are surrounded by a moat and comprise multiple structures arranged across the property.

The castle originated from Slavic fortifications in the 10th century and was first documented in 961. It later came under the control of the Wettin dynasty, which ruled the region for centuries.

Since 1951 the Heimatmuseum has occupied the castle, showing the history of castle and town in 12 rooms with about 15,000 objects, including a model of the castle. A special exhibition is devoted to the writer Victor Blüthgen, a son of the town, whose literary legacy is kept alive through readings and art scholarships. Since 2019 the town archive and library share the building as the Kulturquadrat Schloss Zörbig.

The site is best visited through guided tours, which are offered on a regular basis. It is advisable to check opening times in advance, as these may vary depending on the season.

The 45-metre bergfried, built of rubble stone in the 12th century, received a brick upper storey with a pointed conical roof in the 16th century; repairs are documented for 1655 and 1792. The castle well in the courtyard is 9.5 metres deep, and its present well house is a 2001 reconstruction on the original spot.
