We saw pictures of the Moritzburg Castle and we decided it would be the perfect way to end our day trip to Dresden (considering that Moritzburg is just 10 km away from Dresden and we were lucky enough to have our car with us). Being passionate about photography (and my fiance knowing some things about photography from me) we decided that the best time to go there would be right before sunset. We did not get to visit the inside of the castle but we were mesmerized about the outside. Moritzburg is a beautiful and cozy village with the castle being the jewel on top of its crown. There are plenty of ducks on the lake (I think there were at least 2-3 different species) and some benches here and there where you could sit and take in the view. I must say that if you are ever in the vicinity of Moritzburg you MUST see it. I will leave you with a couple of pictures I took.

A very interesting castle. Due to the fact that it's "small", compared to other castles, it is perfect for a day trip. The inside of the Castle can be visited with it's main attractions being it's golden leather Walls, feather decorations and deer heads on the walls. The audio guides are short and concise, not at all an overwhelming amount of information, although not available in Russian. There's also tour guides but only in German. The outside of the Castle, which is surrounded by a lake and a nice forest can be visited for free. Unfortunately the lake was a bit dry (begging of November.) The town around it seems to be pretty small and simple, as said before, perfect for a day trip.

Nice castle with a beautiful green territory around, pond with ducks and fish, forest, climbing center behind it. It's possible to take a ride with horses through the forest, to drink some coffee with a piece of fresh and super tasty cake (not a cheap restaurant with not friendly stuff, but delicious kitchen). The castle is a good idea for family weekend with kids or a date. Here is quiet and stunning. Entrance ticket is not free but it worth of money. You get a tablet with foreign languages including Russian, French, English and 3D effect. My family and 9y.o. son enjoyed the day spend there. Recommend. It's ok and quick to get from Dresden Neustadt station

Like most other castles, this castle also reveals the opulent life style of the people who lived there. However, it's debatable whether or not they led happy lives. What a contrast, the day we visited the castle, there was a wedding taking place and what better place for a couple, beginning a life together, to be unified in such a lavish castle. Even the chapel, there are inscriptions in Hebrew high up on the walls, which make you wonder. Again, like most other castles, a large number of rooms are not open to the public. The lawns are immaculately maintained and the lake all around enhances the effect. By all means, visit the castle.

Mein Besuch im Schloss Moritzburg war ein unvergessliches Erlebnis, das ich jedem ans Herz legen kann, der sich von märchenhafter Pracht verzaubern lassen möchte. Schon beim Betreten des Geländes fühlte ich mich wie in eine andere Zeit versetzt. Das Schloss selbst strahlt eine majestätische Eleganz aus, die durch die herrliche Umgebung noch verstärkt wird. Es ist leicht nachzuvollziehen, warum Schloss Moritzburg als Drehort für den Kultfilm "Aschenputtel" gewählt wurde – die Atmosphäre ist wirklich märchenhaft. Ein besonderes Highlight meines Besuchs war die virtuelle Tour durch das Schloss. Diese interaktive Erfahrung ermöglicht es den Besuchern, die prachtvollen Säle und Kammern des Schlosses auf eine völlig neue Weise zu entdecken. Die detaillierten Erklärungen und historischen Hintergründe, die während der Tour präsentiert werden, sind äußerst informativ und lassen die Geschichte des Schlosses lebendig werden. Während meines Rundgangs fühlte ich mich manchmal tatsächlich ein wenig wie ein Prinz oder eine Prinzessin, die durch ihre Gemächer schreitet. Die liebevoll restaurierten Räume, die kostbaren Möbel und die beeindruckenden Kunstwerke tragen alle dazu bei, diese Illusion zu perfektionieren. Auch die Außenanlagen des Schlosses sind einen Besuch wert. Die weitläufigen Gärten und der malerische See bieten zahlreiche Fotomotive und laden zum Verweilen und Träumen ein. Schloss Moritzburg ist ein Muss für jeden, der sich für Geschichte, Architektur oder einfach nur für einen Hauch von Magie interessiert. Die Kombination aus historischer Pracht und moderner Präsentationstechnologie macht den Besuch zu einem außergewöhnlichen Erlebnis. Ich kann nur jedem empfehlen, sich selbst auf die Spuren von Aschenputtel zu begeben und dieses zauberhafte Schloss zu erkunden!
