Senftenberg Castle and Fortress / Grod a twardnica Zły Komorow

The impressive castle and fortress complex was built in the 16th century to secure the Saxon border on the foundations of a medieval castle. Today, it is Germany's only preserved fortification surrounded by such a mighty earthen wall. On the tour of the fortress you will discover secret passages, the powder tower and a cleverly planned fortress portal that could not be taken so easily.

For more than 100 years, the castle has been home to a museum whose modern exhibitions invite visitors on an extraordinary journey into the region. From the splendour of Saxon days in today's Brandenburg and the heyday of the fortress, the mining traditions of Lusatia or the history of a small town to modern art, there is much to discover. Among the exhibits are Senftenberg's oldest fire brigade, a Sorbian farmhouse parlour, precious church inventory and the largest wine press in the region.
The most unusual place in Senftenberg Castle leads "underground" to the show mine. Here you can immerse yourself in the early days of mining in Lusatia, when the first coal mines went into operation and farmers became miners.
