Churches and Castle Architecture
Radibor’s Catholic parish history dates back to the 13th century; a first chapel is mentioned around 1270. There are three Catholic churches in Radibor: the Old Parish Church, the Church of the Cross, and the New Parish Church. The Church of the Cross was built in 1397. Another historical highlight is Radibor Castle: the Baroque castle was built between 1709 and 1719 and has a four-wing layout that is rare in Saxony. Its architectural and ecclesiastical history thus spans the period from its medieval parish origins to the early 18th-century Baroque era.
