Join us for a tour through the Pillnitz Palace & Park. This location is one of the hidden gems in the surrounding area of Dresden and offers its visitors spectacular architecture paired with a wholesome and colourful park.

Augustus the Strong bought Pillnitz Palace for Countess Cosel. After his mistress had been banished to Stolpen Castle, the prince elector had the Hillside and Riverside Palace built according to Poeppelmann’s plans. This is where Saxon rulers resided in summer, given its picturesque location in the Elbe Valley with its vineyards. With an intriguing combination of baroque and oriental architecture, Pillnitz Palace and Park is a prime example of chinoiserie. Visitors can take a pleasant stroll in the English, Dutch and Chinese Garden. They can also admire a whole range of exotic plants in the Palm House, where a 250-year-old camellia is kept in a greenhouse in the winter months.

The price for this event is 15€ per person.

The registration starts on Monday, 5th of June, 10am
