Dresden Castle

Dresden Castle (Residenzschloss) is the former royal residence of Saxony’s electors and kings, a centerpiece of Dresden’s art and history. Rebuilt after wartime destruction, it now houses world-class collections: the Green Vault’s treasures, the Coin Cabinet, the Prints, Drawings and Photographs Collection, and the Armory with ceremonial weapons and costumes. Visitors can explore Renaissance to Baroque architecture, reconstructed chambers, and panoramic courtyards. Central location near the Zwinger and Frauenkirche makes it easy to include in a day’s sightseeing. Ideal for art and history enthusiasts seeking masterworks and insight into Saxon court culture. Admission fees and timed entries apply.
