Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

Dresden Castle, also known as the Dresden Royal Palace, is one of the city's oldest existing buildings, formerly serving as the home of the electors and kings of Saxony of the Albertine line between 1547 and 1918. It is believed to have been originally constructed in the 14th century and was reconstructed in 1701 by Augustus the Strong following its destruction by fire. Today, it is widely renowned for its blend of architectural styles, ranging from Baroque to Neo-Renaissance architecture. Ongoing restorations aim to return the castle to its historic state following bombings during World War II. Five museum sections are open to the public, including the Historic Green and New Green Vaults, the Collection of Prints, Drawings, and Photographs, the Numismatic Cabinet, and the Dresden Armory.
