Mei\u00dfen is the birthplace of Saxon history: a castle under the rule of the Ottonians since 929, a bishopric since 968, and the residence of the Margraves of Mei\u00dfen from the 11th to the 16th century.<\/p>\n
The focus of the day trip will be the castle hill with Albrechtsburg, Bishop's Castle, Cathedral, and Canon's Courtyards. The Gothic cathedral with its rich pre-Reformation furnishings, the Cathedral Museum, and the Wettin family tombs (Prince's Chapel, St. George's Chapel) connected to the cathedral will be visited with a guided tour.<\/p>\n
From the castle hill, the tour will continue to St. Afra Church, a 13th-century Augustinian canonry, and then to the Old Town to see St. Mary's Church on the market square.<\/p>\n
A walk through the mostly intact city layout from the 15th and 16th centuries will conclude the excursion.<\/p>\n
