Scharfenstein Castle Scharfenstein Castle is located on an elongated mountain spur above the village of Scharfenstein, a district of Drebach in the Ore Mountains in the Free State of Saxony. The original building was erected around 1250. It is thought to have been built by the von Waldenburg family, but only the first ownership is certain. In 1993, the castle was taken over by the Free State of Saxony - Saxon Palace Administration. The castle was subsequently renovated in line with its listed status
