About
1 km away from the village, on the top of a hill (more
500m high) there lies - touched by the imprint of time
- the Saxon castle. Its construction began in the XIVth
century.
The walls (7-9 m high)
and the 6 towers were meant to defend the inhabitants
of Saschiz and of the surrounding villages in time of
war. |
