Waldenburg Castle. Information: Built in the Historicist style, incorporating medieval architectural elements. It dates back to a castle built in the 12th century, presumably between 1165 and 1172.

The construction of a new hydroelectric power plant with its own feeder canal along the upper floodplain of Grünfelder Park took place between 1924 and 1926, involving the relocation of the Oberwinkler Bach stream. In 1924/25, a fixed concrete weir was built south of Kertzsch, which diverted the Mulde water to the power plant via the upper water channel.

Pretty pond - formerly the swan pond - for those who don't want to go on gondolas there are places to sit and a lovely circular path.
