Wildeck Castle or Wildeck Palace (German: Schloss Wildeck) is an old hunting lodge in Zschopau in Saxony. It stands on a rocky spur above the River Zschopau.
Site
[edit | edit source]The site today forms an irregular triangle, the narrow wing of the castle surrounding the courtyard, with its bergfried known as Dicker Heinrich or "Fat Henry", faces the River Zschopau; the side facing the town is sealed by a wall. The staircase tower in the corner of two wings is called Schlanke Margarete or "Skinny Margaret".
