11. The Albrechtsburg Meissen Castle





This structures history spans all the way back to 929 when a military camp was established between the rivers Meisa, Triebisch, and Elbe.  

The castle was destroyed in the 15th century and redesigned by Arnold of Westphalia, mostly in the late Gothic style.  This landmark dominates the city centre of Meissen, Germany.   

In 1645, Swedish General von Königsmark captured the castle during the Thirty Years War.

During World War II Albrechtsburg was used as storage for artistic inventories of the Dresden Art Collections and some other stolen artifacts.
