Wörlitz Palace
Schloss Wörlitz
Germany's first neoclassical palace, with furniture from the princely era, Wedgwood porcelain, and a collection of antiques inside.
Wörlitz Palace was designed by Friedrich Wilhelm von Erdmannsdorff and completed in 1773. It is regarded as the beginning of German neoclassical architecture. The interiors are displayed as they were, including the living room, library, and dining room of Prince Leopold III Friedrich Franz, along with a collection of English Wedgwood porcelain, classical sculpture, and paintings. Visits are only possible with a guided tour, which lasts about an hour. During peak season, it is recommended to buy tickets in advance at the visitor center in the park. The palace is near the western entrance of the park and can be combined with the Gothic House and the park boat rides on the same day.
