Day 5 of our tour is dedicated entirely to the two most beautiful castles in Saxony. Our first stop is the castle in Pillnitz. This 684-year-old magnificent building fascinates with its beautiful domed hall, built in the ancient style. Standing in this festival room, you can easily imagine the lavish celebrations of the former residents of the fortress: dancing to happy music played by a small orchestra, you can see the women in their pompous dresses and men in their classic suits almost floating through the room.
We continue to the fantastic arts and crafts museum with its collection of Saxon and European art treasures from the 17th and 18th century. The artistically painted vases, colorful murals and fascinating pieces of furniture tell of a handcrafted past of the residents of the castle and of the excellent taste of the former lords of the castle.

Together with a guide we get to know the history of the property and explore the garden planned by August the Strong. There, on the edge of the castle pond, is the pink pheasant castle. This rococo-style building once housed the pheasantry of the hunting lodge, but was above all the scene of many lavish celebrations.
