We made a special stop with our museum train to get the train and the water tower in one picture.

The water tower, with a height of 41.50 meters, is visible from far away, and in good visibility even beyond the Altenburg region.

The old Altenburg playing card factory is located here on Leipziger Strasse. The new building with an area of approx. 20,500 square meters has been located in the North-East industrial area since 2022.

The Lindenau Museum houses one of the most valuable special collections of early Italian panel paintings in the world. The paintings on wood from the 13th to 16th centuries show the development of Italian painting and are the basis for the museum's international standing. They are the work of the natural scientist, statesman and patron Bernhard August von Lindenau (1779–1854) and have been open to the public since 1848. The museum is currently being renovated.
