Welcome Back to a Pocket-Sized Palace: Saxony's Elegant Fasanenschloss Reopens after Winter Slumber!
Castle reopens in Saxony after winter hiatus - Castle resumption: Smaller castle in Saxony reopens post-winter break
If you're eager to inject a touch of baroque sophistication into your winter break, pack your gloves and overcoats! Fasanenschloss, the tiny yet lavish retreat nestled in the heart of Moritzburg, is welcoming visitors once more after a chillier-than-usual six-month hiatus. The castle administration has announced that the season will commence on the 12th of this month with a festive toast (Maibowle) and music.
Fasanenschloss, a gem preserved in its Rococo glory, is the only castle in Saxony that showcases its original baroque charm. During your visit, you can explore its antechamber, study, living, and sleeping quarters, as well as its dining room. These spaces are adorned with one-of-a-kind wall coverings, featuring feathers, straw, pearls, and embroidery, that offer a spectacle of artistry.
Augustus the Strong, the Baroque prince, built this architectural delight as part of his hunting lodge complex. The castle sits within the pheasant garden, with a miniature harbor and lighthouse, and was once host to the most extravagant parties the nobility could muster.
Getting hitched in a Fairy Tale Setting
If you're looking for a ceremony that borders on a dream, Fasanenschloss—nicknamed "a piece of paradise in miniature"—could be the place for you! This architectural stunner plays host to weddings in a limited capacity, with guided tours accommodating up to ten guests, and occasionally, climbs up the lighthouse. On the first Fridays and Saturdays from May to September, it also functions as a registry office annex. Since 2011, more than 370 couples have tied the knot in this enchanting castle setting.
