Kriebstein Castle

The Kriebstein estate was built with the construction of the Kriebstein Castle mentioned for the first time in 1384 in the 14th century. This in turn was created by the relocation of the residence of the Lords of Beerwalde from the destroyed Beerwalde moated castle to the newly chosen location on the slope above the Zschopau. Kriebstein was given in 1445 as a knight's seat with estate settlement and estate block corridor. It was in the district of Beerwalde until 1922/23 .
