Schloss Mutzschen

Schloss Mutzschen is located on the edge of the inner city of Mutzschen east of Grimma in the Leipzig district in Saxony on a spur above the Mutzschener Wasser. Already in the early Bronze Age, a fortification of the Lusatian culture, as a branch of the Aunjetitz culture, stood here. A Wendish castle complex dated to the 9th century has been proven, as well as an early burgward after the eastern settlement in the second half of the 10th century. No above-ground structural remains of the medieval castle have survived.
