Culture and Architectural History in Greiz

Greiz Upper Castle is an authentic example of the residential architecture of a small principality. At the castle, visitors can explore permanent and special exhibitions featuring unique architectural and historical findings spanning the Romanesque period to Art Nouveau. This brings together a clearly defined architectural style and a broad historical perspective.

At the museum in Greiz Upper Castle, visitors can explore 800 years of architectural history through a computer animation, try on knights’ helmets, and learn about dining customs of the time in a sound chair. The examples differ in form: from an animation to an object to try out to a sound chair.

At the Lower Castle, the museum includes the “Greiz Textile History” exhibition. The Summer Palace is part of the Greiz architectural ensemble, which brings together architectural landmarks dating from the 12th to the 19th century. The Art Nouveau Quarter is in the city center around Marktstraße and Thomasstraße. The subjects to choose from therefore include residential architecture and architectural history, textile history, and Art Nouveau at different locations in Greiz.

Hiking and Landscapes in Greiz

The Greiz circular hiking trail is about 70 kilometers long, divided into several stages, and passes sights and viewpoints in the city of Greiz. One specifically named stop is on Stage 3: the Gasparinen Temple is located on the route between Silberloch and Dölau and is a special viewpoint. From a height of 65 meters above the valley floor, visitors can enjoy a view of the Upper Castle and Greiz Old Town. This distinguishes getting an overview of the entire trail from choosing a single described stage. The approximately 70 kilometers refers to the length of the entire circular trail; the 65 meters indicates the viewpoint’s height above the valley floor.

Another nature attraction in Greiz is the city’s animal enclosure. It is located within the Greiz-Werdauer Wald landscape conservation area.

Those who would like to experience local history at historic sites can include a historical costume tour in Greiz in their plans. The tour covers the city’s history and significant events and is offered year-round by arrangement.

The Lindenhof Moschwitz, for its part, has a long family tradition; events are possible by arrangement, and the beer garden operates seasonally. Take these conditions into account when planning and check the beer garden’s current availability in advance.
