Marriage in the moated castle Klaffenbach
Klaffenbach moated castle, located in the Klaffenbach district, was built at the beginning of the 16th century and is an almost unique example of a Renaissance moated castle in Saxony.
The spirit of the Fräulein von Taube watches over the newlyweds. According to legend, it was here that she refused to marry the ugly lord of Rabenstein Castle, whereupon her furious father had her walled up alive in the castle tower.
