Wasserburg Sachsgrün stands in Triebel (Vogtlandkreis), in Saxony, Germany. Recorded dating: 12th century. No visits are on record for this building.

The Wasserburg Sachsgrün stands at the heart of the village of Sachsgrün, part of the municipality of Triebel in the Vogtlandkreis, Saxony. The site dates back to a moated stronghold built between 1200 and 1250, likely the original seat of the von Sack family, but the structure seen today is a manor house erected in 1858 and 1859 after the earlier building collapsed in 1854, later altered in 1936 and 1938. Over the centuries the property passed through many noble and institutional owners, and it served as a school for about fifteen years in the 20th century.

What to know

The building seen today is a 19th-century manor house, not the original medieval stronghold, which was lost in 1854.
No opening hours, admission fees or access conditions are documented for this site.
A restaurant business has operated here since 2005, suggesting partial use of the premises, best confirmed locally.
