The Best Attractions In Lunzenau

1. Schloss Rochsburg Lunzenau
Rochsburg Castle , which was probably founded in the late 12th century, stands on a rock spur, surrounded on three sides by the Zwickau Mulde river, above the eponymous town quarter in Lunzenau in Saxony.

Over centuries the Rochsburg has formed the centrepiece in the Saxon district of Rochsburg.
