Description
PATH IN GOLDEN WOODS. FORTIFICATION KOENIGSTEIN by JENNY RAINBOW.
This is a unique early example of a fortified building in Europe. It has 40 meters high walls and sits on a mesa in the middle of the beautiful area of Saxon Switzerland. The first mentions of Koenigstein came in 1241 when it was a medieval castle belonging to the Czech kingdom. In the beginning of the 15th century Wetliners, a Saxon feudal family, begin its reconstruction.
