New: Escape from Colditz Castle
Embark on an emotive journey through time with the HistoPad

Prisoner of war camp, insane asylum, hospital: Colditz Castle has a moving history. It was once a magnificent hunting lodge, later a symbol of the desire for freedom. The unrenovated state of many rooms gives it a unique lost-place feel. The castle walls harbor centuries of secrets. They will be brought back to life with the »HistoPad« tablet guide.
