• Pillnitz Palace & Park is the former summer residence of the Saxon royal family and is now the largest chinoiserie palace complex in Europe. The palace park with more than 2,000 trees and shrubs and over 600 potted plants invites you to take an eventful stroll at any time of year ( entrance is chargeable between 9am and 6pm). The palace museum in the New Palace provides information about the history of the palace complex and the courtly life of its owners, chinoiserie fashion and the festive and play culture of the Baroque period.
