Lichtenwalde Palace & Baroque Garden
Schloss Lichtenwalde
A Baroque palace and terraced gardens on the cliffs of the Zschopau River valley, with hundreds of fountains and water features running in summer.
This 18th-century Baroque palace stands on a cliff above the river valley. Its terraced gardens hold many fountains and water features, and in summer there are garden festivals and light shows. The museum inside the palace displays Asian art and papercut collections. Garden admission is about 7 to 10 euros, and a combined ticket with the palace is better value. It is about 20 minutes' drive from Chemnitz and can be paired with Augustusburg Palace on the same day.
Opening hours
Apr–Oct 9:00 am–6:00 pm; shorter in winter
