garden kingdom of dessau wörlitz


The Dessau-Wörlitz Garden Realm, a testament to the Age of Enlightenment's architectural and landscape design ideals, is a cultural treasure nestled in Central Germany. Created in the late 18th century under Duke Leopold III of Anhalt-Dessau, this expansive landscape spans over 14,500 hectares within the Middle Elbe Biosphere Reserve. Visitors can explore a variety of palaces and parks, each offering a unique glimpse into the historical and artistic heritage that earned it the UNESCO World Heritage Site status in 2000.
