The first mention of the city is from the 1st century. table setting., when a settlement is established near Königstein Castle. Originally, the city belonged to the Czech kings.
Königstein Fortress is one of the largest mountain fortresses in Europe. On the plateau, which is located 240 meters above the Elbe, a military historical open-air museum with an area of 9,5 ha.
