About us

Welcome to the website of the “European Route of Castles and Palaces”.

Welcome to the website of the “European Route of Castles and Palaces” - a unique project that focuses on the fascinating history and cultural heritage of Upper Lusatia and Lower Silesia. Our region, the picturesque Upper Lusatia in Saxony and our partner region, the historic Lower Silesian Voivodeship in Poland, is rich in castles, palaces and historic buildings, all of which have an exciting past and a special significance: szlakzamkow.eu

The main aim of our project is to connect and promote these extraordinary places across borders. Together with our project partners in Poland (DOT), we (MGO) are developing a tourist network known under the brand “European Route of Castles and Palaces”. The aim of this network is to link the culture and history of both countries and bring them to life for visitors.

Through intensive cooperation and innovative concepts, we are creating a new tourism product: the “European Castles and Palaces Route Poland-Germany”. This route will not only promote tourism in the region, but also increase awareness and preservation of historical buildings on both sides of the border.

Our goals are clearly defined:

  • The promotion and development of castles and palaces in Saxony and Lower Silesia.
  • The intensification of cross-border cooperation and marketing of these historical sites.
