iverside steps, chinoiserie and a camellia – Pillnitz Palace

When you approach Pillnitz Palace for the first time, the picturesque summer residence of Augustus the Strong on the banks of the Elbe, you may well rub your eyes in disbelief. A Chinese palace in Germany – is that possible? The tour retraces the history of the palace ensemble and leads you through the English-style landscaped park to the oldest camellia in Europe.
