Sights in Dresden Elbland

This is what the most beautiful baroque looks like. The Church of Our Lady (Frauenkirche), a masterpiece of European architecture. Built between 1726 and 1743, destroyed in the Second World War - and reconstructed after German reunification thanks to an international fundraising campaign - the church, which was reconsecrated in 2005, now stands for peace and reconciliation. Experience Dresden's landmark!

Augustus the Strong used the central square primarily for pompous celebrations - inside, he presented his art treasures, the basis of the later collections. Built between 1709 and 1728, the Dresden Zwinger is pure late Baroque. The former fortress houses museums such as the Mathematical-Physical Salon, the Porcelain Collection and the Old Masters Picture Gallery. Definitely worth a visit!

With a worldwide reputation: for music lovers, Dresden equals the Semperoper. They are not entirely wrong. See for yourself and experience one of the many top-class performances in one of the most beautiful theatres. And look forward to the typical sound of the Sächsische Staatskapelle, a trademark of Dresden for over 470 years.

When King Henry I built a wooden fortification on a rock above the Elbe in 929 and resided in the predecessor building of Albrechtsburg Castle, the "cradle of Saxony" was born. Around 500 years later, the ruling Wettin dynasty built the late Gothic Albrechtsburg Meissen. The representative administrative centre and residential castle was completed in 1471 - making it the first castle in German architectural history. Visit this architectural jewel!
