Heinitzburg & the Three Castles
Heinitzburg
Three small colonial-era castles on the hillside east of the city. Heinitzburg is now a hotel, and its terrace is a classic spot for watching the sunset over the city.
Heinitzburg, Schweinitzburg and Sanderburg were built between 1913 and 1917 by German architect Willy Sander as aristocratic residences of the colonial era. Heinitzburg is now a boutique hotel and restaurant, where non-guests can order a drink on the terrace and watch the sunset over the city centre and distant mountains. Schweinitzburg is a private residence, and Sanderburg can only be admired from a distance. It is about a 5-minute drive from Christuskirche.
