Excerpt from Wikipedia

Wildeck Castle or Wildeck Palace (German: Schloss Wildeck) is an old hunting lodge in Zschopau in Saxony. It stands on a rocky spur above the River Zschopau.

Site

The site today forms an irregular triangle, the narrow wing of the castle surrounding the courtyard, with its bergfried known as Dicker Heinrich or "Fat Henry", faces the River Zschopau; the side facing the town is sealed by a wall. The staircase tower in the corner of two wings is called Schlanke Margarete or "Skinny Margaret".
