Colditz is a small town in the state of Saxony, Germany, situated on the banks of the River Zwickauer Mulde. The town is primarily known for its most prominent landmark, Colditz Castle (Schloss Colditz), a Renaissance castle that gained international fame during World War II when it served as a high-security prisoner-of-war camp for Allied officers.

The castle's history stretches back to the 11th century, and over the centuries, it has served various purposes, including as a hunting lodge, a poorhouse, and a mental hospital. Today, the castle houses a museum that documents its remarkable history, particularly its wartime period. The town itself maintains its historical character with traditional German architecture and continues to be a significant cultural heritage site in Saxony.
