The baroque Castle Moritzburg which is located on an artificial island is a true magnet for visitors.
Splendour and Luxury wherever one looks- Castle Moritzburg served electoral prince Friedrich August II. Of Saxony as base for his hunting trips, but also as representative venue for his royal feasts, that is of course a reason why one speaks of Moritzburg as hunting and pleasure palace…
The Renaissance building was named after duke Moritz of Saxonia, which he had  constructed as hunting residence. Since 1978 there has been continuous construction work.
It enchants the visitors with its magnificent interior decorations, a museum showing baroque furniture, porcelain, old carriages, tiled stoves and much more.
A walk through the beautiful castle gardens and a moment of peace in the impressive early Baroque chapel from the 17th century make the visit of castle Moritzburg complete.
