Sights
Discover the sights in the district of Greiz and allow yourself to be filled with enthusiasm over this atmosphere steeped in history.
This history was mainly influenced by the reeves of Weida and their descendants - the "Reußen". The historical constructions and buildings are well worth taking the time to explore, such as the "Osterburg" in Weida, the Lower and the Upper Castle in Greiz, the "Reichenfels" ruin in Hohenleuben, the "Mildenfurth" monastery in Wünschendorf, the Greiz Park, or the sole roofed timber bridge preserved in Germany in Wünschendorf date back to this time.
Early industrialization and emerging middle classes coined the cities’ architecture in the time around 1900. Classicistic and Art Nouveau buildings dominate the townscapes of Greiz and Zeulenroda.
The great historical tradition is reflected in the cultural life of this region as many museums, collections and exhibitions await your visit.
