Düben Castle stands in Bad Düben, in Saxony, on a fortified site whose origins go back to the 10th century. For centuries it served administrative purposes, including as the seat of an electoral Saxon bailiff before 1531 and later as a judicial and financial office at the end of the 18th century. Its last major rebuilding phase, around 1780, shaped the appearance it has today. Since 1953 it has housed the Landschaftsmuseum der Dübener Heide, a museum devoted to the town's and region's history.
