But how would people and animals get water up there at such a height? In the 16th century, a well was dug with a staggering depth of 152.5 (!) meters \u2013 today Germany&#039;s second deepest historical well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the end of the 16th century, Elector Christian I of Saxony ordered the castle to be converted into a fortress.
