Hellhaus, Moritzburg

Highlight • Historical Site

The Hellhaus was once one of the most beautiful Rococo palaces in Saxony and was a popular postcard motif. The architect was Johann Daniel Schade (1730-1798), the builder of the neighboring Fasanenschlösschen. He built it on a hill in 1787 as a hunting lodge for Elector Friedrich August III. (1750-1827), later King Friedrich August the Just. It lies at the intersection of eight star-shaped aisles and was the center of legendary parforce hunts and places of glamorous court festivals. It is of artistic, architectural and landscaping importance and an example of the courtly culture in everyday life in the late 18th century.

Moritzburg Castle

Highlight • Castle

A beautiful castle with exhibitions and a beautiful park - even apart from Three Hazelnuts for Cinderella. For many people, Moritzburg Castle is probably a reminder of the film. On the eastern side of the castle you can also find Cinderella's shoe!

Due to its central location in the castle pond, you have a great view of the castle from all sides. The reflection of the castle in the castle pond is particularly beautiful. You can admire the reflection until the end of October, when the water is drained and the fishing begins. Incidentally, there is a fish and forest festival at Moritzburg Castle.

Every year in winter there is a winter exhibition in the castle called "Three Hazelnuts for Cinderella".

Dardanelles Ruins at the Großteich, Moritzburg

Highlight • Historical Site

In 1775, Alexei Grigoryevich Orlov, celebrated throughout Europe as a hero, who had defeated the Ottoman fleet in the naval battle of Çeşme, met Electress Amalie Auguste during a stay in the Electorate of Saxony. His eunuch Camillo Marcolini then arranged for a replica of a warship to be built at the large pond near Bärnsdorf, and the Elector has since pushed ahead with the reconstruction of an entire coastal landscape in order to be able to recreate the Battle of Çeşme. A port facility was created, a pier, the Moritzburg lighthouse, artificial islands, a canal, bridge pillars and bastion-like curves with loopholes that imitated the Dardanelles. Sea battles were re-enacted at the large pond, with residents from surrounding villages serving as extras. The last courtly sailing party on the large pond took place in 1791.
