Abstract

The article offers information about the contribution of German architect Arnold von Westfalen to Middle European architecture in the 16th century. Von Westfalen's works include the castle Albrechtsburg in Meißen, Germany and, possibly, the third tower of the cathedral in Meißen. Biographical information about von Westfalen is also provided, including suggestions about his place of birth, which may have been Leipzig, Germany. Conjecture is offered about von Westfalen's possible travels to France and Southern Germany, which would have exposed him to the different architectural styles apparent in his projects.
