This compact Saxon town on the White Elster river in the Vogtland region of Germany, Oelsnitz has a modest central core with cafés and restaurants. The nearby village of Voigtsberg holds the remains of a castle that once served as a residence of the regional governor. Oelsnitz's medieval history includes periods under the margraves of Meissen and later the electors of Saxony.
