Schloss Weesenstein

Schloss Weesenstein is a fascinating historic gem with original furniture and wall coverings that showcase the aristocratic living culture of bygone eras.

The castle chapel offers you not only regular church services but also concerts – allowing you to experience culture up close in a special atmosphere.

A classical-style winter garden adds architectural charm to the castle complex, while the museum displays around 40 paintings by the Dresden artist Walter Timmling, offering insights into the New Objectivity movement.

Restorations revealed valuable wall paintings and room decorations from the 15th and 16th centuries, which you can explore – a real highlight for art and history lovers.

During World War II, the castle served as the main depot for about 450,000 art treasures from Dresden’s museums – an impressive part of its history.

In the adjacent castle park, which was carefully restored after severe flooding damage in 2002, attractive walking paths and plenty of space await to discover and play for the whole family.
