Königstein Fortress (German: Festung Königstein), the "Saxon Bastille", is a hilltop fortress near Dresden, in Saxon Switzerland, Germany, above the town of Königstein on the left bank of the River Elbe. It is one of the most extensive hilltop fortifications in Europe and sits atop the table hill of the same name. The 9.5-hectare (23-acre) rock plateau rises 240 metres (790 ft) above the Elbe and has over 50 buildings, some over 400 years old, that bear witness to the military and civilian life in the fortress. The rampart run of the fortress is 1,800 metres (5,900 ft) long, with high walls up to 42 metres (138 ft) and steep sandstone faces. In the centre of the site is a 152.5-metre-deep (500 ft 4 in) well, the deepest in Saxony and second-deepest in Europe. The fortress, which was used as a state prison for centuries, is still intact and is now one of Saxony's foremost tourist attractions, with 700,000 visitors per year.
By far, the oldest written record of a castle on the Königstein is found in a deed by King Wenceslas I of Bohemia dating to 1233, in which a witness is named "Burgrave Gebhard of Stein". At that time, the region was split between the Kingdom of Bohemia and the Bishopric of Meissen. The medieval castle belonged to the Kingdom of Bohemia. Its first full description as Königstein ("King's Rock") occurred in the Upper Lusatian Border Charter (Oberlausitzer Grenzurkunde) of 1241, that Wenceslas I "in lapide regis" (Lat.: at the rock of the king) sealed. In this charter, the border between the Slavic Gauen of Milska (Upper Lusatia), Nisani (Meißen Depression), and Dacena (Tetschen region) was demarcated. Because the Königstein lay left of the Elbe, it was independent of the three Gauen above. It belonged at that time to the Kingdom of Bohemia. It was expanded by order of the Bohemian kings, as the Elbe became more intensively used as a trade route, into a fortified site that dominated the north of their territories, controlling the Elbe above Pirna and an outpost of strategically important Dohna Castle located in the nearby Müglitz.
After the king and later emperor, Charles IV had Eulau Castle, which dominated the southern region, destroyed in 1348 by townsfolk from Aussig, he spent 5 to 19 August 1359 on the Königstein and signed the authority for shipping rights. The castle was pledged several times in the 50 years that followed, including to the Donins. Because this family were enemies of the margraves of Meißen, the latter finally captured the castle in 1408 during the Dohna Feud that had been raging since 1385. However, it was not until 25 April 1459 that the transfer of the castle to the Margraviate of Meißen was finally completed once the Saxon-Bohemian border had been settled in the Treaty of Eger. Unlike the other rock castles in Saxon Switzerland, the Königstein continued to be used by the Saxon dukes and prince-electors for military purposes. At one stage, the Königstein was also a monastery. In 1516, Duke George the Bearded, a fierce opponent of the Reformation, founded a Celestine abbey on the Königstein, the Kloster des Lobes der Wunder Mariae. It closed again in 1524 - after the death of Duke George, Saxony became Evangelical.
Because Königstein Fortress was regarded as unconquerable, the Saxon monarchs retreated to it from Wittenberg and later Dresden during times of crisis. They also deposited the state treasure and many works of art from the famous Zwinger here; due to its lovely surroundings, it was also used as a country retreat.
