【德累斯顿】茨温格宫

The Dresden Zwinger still shapes the city’s image to this day, reminding us of the glamorous baroque period like no other building. A courtly work of art was created between the city’s inner and outer fortifications at the behest of Augustus the Strong. The architectural project, favored over a simple orangery, was carried out by Matthaeus Daniel Poeppelmann und Balthasar Permoser. The planned extension to the palace was replaced by the Picture Gallery and Semper Opera House. The museums of the Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden are now waiting to be discovered at the Zwinger: the Porcelain Collection, Old Masters Picture Gallery and the Royal Cabinet of Mathematical and Physical Instruments.
