Dippoldiswalde Castle is located in the city center of Dippoldiswalde in the Eastern Ore Mountains, directly on the western edge of the city center on a mountain spur above the Weißeritztal . To the east of the castle is the Dippoldiswald town church .
history
The hill fort was built in the 12th century to protect mining and as an official seat in the Margraviate of Meißen . In 1266 a Knight of Clomen was mentioned as the owner and the town became a mountain town. The castle Böthchen , located in a north-westerly direction, belonged to the castle . In 1429 the Hussites destroyed the city, in 1485 the castle and the city fortifications were restored. Between 1500 and 1550, the builder Peter Flötner from Nuremberg converted the castle into a Renaissance palace. The southern wing with the central building and the two-storey bay window on the west side was built in 1569–1572. In the Thirty Years War , the castle and the city were also affected.
Today the castle houses the Dippoldiswalde District Court , the Museum Osterzgebirgsgalerie and, since August 2018, the Museum for Medieval Mining in the Ore Mountains .
city wall
1358–1363 Margrave Friedrich the Strict had the city fortified with walls, towers and moats in a triangular shape. In 1665 the city wall at the gate, in 1666 the upper and lower gates were repaired. It was gradually removed, most recently the Obertor in 1845. Parts of the city wall are still there today.
