Georgium
Schloss Georgium
A landscape garden on the edge of Dessau's city center. The palace houses the Anhalt Picture Gallery, and the park is dotted with classical temples and ruins.
Georgium was built at the end of the 18th century by Prince Johann Georg, younger brother of Leopold III. The park connects to the Elbe meadows and includes small features such as an Ionic temple, Roman ruins, and the Temple of Flora. The palace houses the Anhalt Picture Gallery, which holds works by classical masters such as Cranach and Rubens. Some works have been moved to other venues during renovation. The park is free to enter, and it is only a few hundred meters from the Bauhaus building and the Masters' Houses, making it convenient for a walk.
