Schloss Wackerbarth, Radebeul

Wackerbarth Castle, originally Wackerbarths Ruh', is a Baroque castle surrounded by vineyards in the Niederlößnitz district of Radebeul on the road to Meissen, which serves as the headquarters of the Saxon State Winery. The winery belongs to the single vineyard Radebeuler Johannisberg within the large vineyard Lößnitz and is located in the protected historic vineyard landscape Radebeul. The historic area of the castle forms an offshoot of the Lößnitz landscape conservation area above it. Schloss Wackerbarth as a Saxon cultural heritage is a member of the marketing association Schlösserland Sachsen, the GmbH a subsidiary of the Sächsische Aufbaubank.

Since its establishment as the retirement residence of Field Marshal General and Imperial Count August Christoph von Wackerbarth and until the founding of Niederlößnitz in 1839, the estate was a manor directly subordinate to the Dresden office on the Naundorf vineyard.

Today, the Saxon State Winery Schloss Wackerbarth, consisting of the historic complex and the modern new building of the wine and sparkling wine manufactory, is open to the public for viewing. The in-house products are tasted and sold, the associated glass production can be visited. In the open spaces surrounding the buildings, sample vines of the cultivated grape varieties can also be seen in their seasonal growth. The estate's own restaurant is housed in the eastern, listed farm building. The higher Belvedere also serves as a venue for wedding ceremonies.
