Audio tour · Moritzburg Castle

2:32

You're standing at Moritzburg Castle, a Baroque hunting palace on a man-made island, about thirteen kilometres northwest of Dresden. Look at the four round towers and the water all around. The island was laid out perfectly symmetrically. The big pond surrounding the castle was created by joining four smaller ponds together during a rebuild.
