History
The residential tower can be regarded as a uniform new building initiated by Dietrich von Beerwalde from 1384. In 1407, the castle lord was newly enfeoffed with Kriebstein Castle, and also the newly erected buildings, the outbuildings that stood out over the edge of the Zschopau River cliffs (chapel wing, Gothic hall) as well as smaller outbuildings. After Dietrich’s death in 1408, the Kriebstein property fell to his widow Elisabeth as a jointure and after her death to their daughter Klara.
