Schwarzenberg Attractions

The exhibits in the Erzgebirge Iron and Tin Museum in Schwarzenberg include a 19th C. nailsmith's forge and products from foundries in the Erzgebirge.

The Late Gothic Schloss Schwarzenberg (1433) incorporates remains, including a keep from an earlier 12th C. castle; in 1555-58 it was converted into a hunting lodge by Elector Augustus of Saxony. It now contains a museum.

The parish church of St George (1690-99) in Schwarzenberg is an aisleless Baroque church with a richly furnished interior (17th C. silver-plated crucifix, wrought-iron altar rails of 1737).

A covered wooden bridge over the Schwarzwasser links the districts of Untersachsenfeld and Neuwelt.
