Castle Pillnitz

The Place

Both the castle and the adjacent park at Pillnitz create a magical atmosphere that invites you to stay just a bit longer. Built in the 18th century by King Augustus II, the castle served as the principal summer residence for all Saxon regents until 1918. The garden houses many remarkable trees and plants, including Europe´s oldest camellia tree. Right beyond Pillnitz, the urban river landscape ends.

Sightseeing Tips
