Weesenstein Castle, a well-preserved fortress-turned-palace in Saxony, played a role in Nazi art history as one of the many sites used to store looted artwork during World War II. As part of Hitler’s systematic plundering of cultural treasures, the castle housed valuable paintings and artifacts, some of which had been stolen from occupied territories. Visiting the castle today offers insight into its layered history, from medieval stronghold to a royal residence, and its lesser-known wartime past as a secret depot for stolen art.
