Purschenstein Castle, Ore Mountains/Vogtland Nature Park

Facts and practical information

Purschenstein Castle in Neuhausen/Erzgeb. in East Germany was built in the late 12th century, around 1200, probably by Boresch I. The toll and escort castle protected a salt road running from Central Germany to Bohemia. This long-distance trading route, also called the Old Bohemian Track, ran from Leipzig past present-day Neuhausen and over the Deutscheinsiedler Saddle towards Prague. In 2005, the castle was bought by a Dutch businessman. Since then it has been renovated and houses a hotel, the Schlosshotel Purschenstein. ()
