Top 4 Castles around Lucka

Audigast Castle originated as a moated castle, first mentioned in 1330 as a manor house under Otto Pincerna de Vdegoz. In 1472, the moated castle was recorded as a knight's estate, and in 1518 as an outlying farm. During the turmoil of World War II, Audigast Castle suffered partial destruction in 1945. It stood empty for a long time and was in need of extensive renovation. In 2015, the castle underwent a comprehensive renovation for residential use. The castle is now in excellent condition. https://sachsens-schloesser.de/groitzsch-wasserburg-schloss-audigast/

The castle ruins can be visited free of charge at any time. Particularly worth seeing are the partially reconstructed round chapel and the stump of a round tower, both dating from around 1080. During the summer months, events such as open-air concerts and performances are frequently held on the grounds. A vineyard with over 500 vines, flowerbeds, and hiking trails have been created. The lapidarium within the castle grounds now comprises a collection of approximately 40 fieldstones and boundary stones from the region. https://www.groitzsch.de/freizeit-kultur-tourismus/sehenswuerdigkeiten/55-wiprechtsburg

There is nothing to add to what has been written above...except: if you like wild garlic, you will find it in the adjacent forest in quantities that can tolerate a small bunch being carefully harvested for enjoyment :)

Always worth a visit.

Remains of a medieval castle. Today it is used as an open-air theater.

I've driven through Audigast hundreds of times and finally found time to look behind the greenery beside the road. The moated castle with its enchanted park is completely surrounded by a moat and can be walked around on a path. Always beautiful views, especially in spring.
