Description
Stairway at Pillnitz Palace, Dresden, Saxony, Germany.
Pillnitz Palace is the former summer residence of the Saxon royal court. The main palace wings were built 1720-22 for Augustus the Strong.
From its residence in Dresden, the Saxon court liked to sail up the River Elbe in magnificent boats to Pillnitz. The Wasserpalais (Riverside Palace) with its splendid chinoiseries and the grand flight of steps linking it with the river, the Neues Palais (New Palace) and the Bergpalais (Hillside Palace) form a unique and harmonious architectural ensemble.
Since July 2004 Pillnitz Castle & Park have been part of the Dresden Elbe Valley UNESCO World Heritage Site
