Elbe Castles (Albrechtsberg & Lingnerschloss)
Elbschlösser
Three 19th-century palaces standing side by side on the slopes of the Elbe’s north bank, with garden terraces that make excellent viewpoints.
The Elbe Castles refer to Albrechtsberg, Lingner Castle (originally Villa Stockhausen), and Eckberg Castle. Built in the mid-19th century on the vineyard slopes of the Elbe’s north bank, they are among the key elements of the Dresden Elbe Valley landscape, which was for a time a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The gardens and terraces are open to the public free of charge and offer views over the Elbe meadows and the city across the river. Lingner Castle has an open-air café, Albrechtsberg often hosts concerts, and Eckberg Castle is a hotel. They can be explored on foot together with the Blue Wonder bridge. Take tram 11 to Elbschlösser stop.
