history
The castle was first mentioned in a document in 1372 when Emperor Charles IV was raised. Like Hohnstein Castle, Schwarzberg Castle belonged to the Bohemian aristocratic family of Berka von der Dubá . The castle was probably built because at that time an important trade route ran through the valley and led to Lusatia . The castle also served to secure the connection between the two main castles of the Berka von der Dubá: Wildenstein Castle (Upper Saxon Switzerland ) and Hohnstein Castle . Heinrich von der Dubá, a scion of the Hohensteiner Berken, probably lived in the walls of the castle, to whom the Wildenstein lordship fell in 1410 through an inheritance.
As a result, the castle is likely to have been left to decay when he moved to Wildenstein Castle on the Kuhstallmassiv . In 1443 the castle went to Saxony . Around this time the dilapidated buildings were repeatedly used as accommodation, for example on February 20, 1475, sixty robbed robbers from Bohemia on horseback.
In order to keep the memories of the former castle alive, the manor owner von Ulbersdorf had an artificial ruin built on the rather sparse remains of the wall in 1858 with the addition of a round tower and pointed arch walls . The two meter thick walls on the west side of the main building and the remains of the surrounding walls come from the historic castle. The deep vaults and the castle fountain have been buried, the drawbridge against the Goßdorfer Berg has completely fallen into disrepair. Buildings that belonged to the knights' riding arena are said to have stood on the "Schloßwiese", down in the Schwarzbachtal.
In 2003 the ruins were restored.
