Day trip to Dessau and Wörlitz

Architecture and landscape gardening in perfect harmony

Duke Leopold of Anhalt-Dessau commissioned the architect Erdmannsdorf and the landscaper Eyserbeck to design and build a magnificent park with castles, lakes and romantic walk ways, which was destined to become the only one of its kind and a unique project in Europe.

Discover this breathtaking area by boat and take in the sweeping views while gently gliding through the mirroring waters.

Enjoy the calmness and harmony of this world heritage listed treasure and let the scenery inspire you. Visit the romantic Wörlitz palace with its unique architecture and its fantastic oil painting gallery of old masters.

Nearby in the city of Dessau you will find architectural gems of modern design – several examples of the famous Bauhaus architecture. The Bauhaus College was founded here in 1925 and became one of Europe's leading modern architectural movements.
