Das Ringhotel Schloss Schkopau

Lying in the heart of a region shaped by centuries of industrial activity is a pearl handed down from a long-gone era.

The Schkopau citadel, first mentioned in the annals of the tenth century, developed under its owners, the von Trotha family, into a handsome Renaissance castle thronged by royalty and nobility.

Among the reminders of when the castle was an embattled stronghold are the imposing keep and the adjoining defensive walls, which have withstood not only earlier foes but also the threat of dilapidation.
