You will learn special details about their architecture and building history, about the former owners, about today’s use of these magnificent buildings, and about winegrowing in this exclusive location.

The Hunting Seat Moritzburg Castle

A castle set on a lake and its fabulous treasures

August the Strong (1670 - 1733) not only indulges his passion for hunting here, but rather actualised another splendid piece of baroque architecture and landscape gardening. The walk leads through a spacious park and a landscape of ponds, where many artistic accents find harmonically together and want to be explored and inquired by the visitors. This short journey of discovery of the park is peppered with Saxon history and anecdotes from the Baroque court life and on to the renaissance of the current Saxon nobility.
