Colditz castle is famed, at least in Britain, as a Second World War prisoner of war camp from which British prisoners tried many ingenious escape attempts. (There’s even an Escape from Colditz board game). However, now the castle is facing the same questions which haunt many historical buildings: how to become a useful, sustainable modern structure. The answer in Colditz’s case is to create a small museum dedicated to the Second World War and redevelop the rest; part is to become a music museum. The plans have caused a debate among those who wish to keep the castle, which is over nine hundred years old, as an authentic reminder of the war, and those who wish it to become more functional. The Times has an article on the topic.
