Numerous castles (Burgen) and palaces (Schlösser) are found in the German state of Saxony. These buildings, some of which have a history of over 1000 years, were the setting of historical events, domains of famous personalities and are still imposing buildings to this day.
This list encompasses buildings described in German as Burg (castle), Schloss (palace or stately home), Festung (fort/fortress), Herrenhaus (manor house) and Palais/Palast (palace). After the Middle Ages many of these buildings were remodelled or built as royal or ducal palaces or as stately homes rather than as fortified buildings.
