Pillnitz Palace
East of Dresden, palace architecture, gardens and the river come together beside the Elbe.
At Pillnitz, the river itself is part of the story. The Elbe setting shapes the palace complex as much as its architecture and gardens. A visit fits thematically with exploring Dresden’s east.
+Pillnitz isn’t a short walk from the centre, though. If we combine it with Loschwitz or the Elbe castles, we allow for transport and enough time at each place. Park, museum and interior access should be checked in advance.
