Moritzburg Little Pheasant Castle Paradise in a nutshell

The only lighthouse in Saxony

Little Pheasant Castle

Paradise in a Nutshell

Only a select number of people are granted admission here, because Moritzburg Little Pheasant Castle is simply too small for big crowds. But this will make your visit an exclusive delight – just like in days of old. The palace was built around 1770 – it’s the only one in Saxony that has been preserved in the late rococo style. The chinois Little Pheasant Castle used to house a complete royal household. With authentically restored furnishings, wall coverings and stuffed birds, Moritzburg Little Pheasant Castle has regained its delicate splendor – and some rooms even come with a sea view. When strolling through the grounds that feature the only lighthouse in Saxony, guests are whisked away to the playful and decadent world of the 18th-century aristocracy.
