Facts and practical information

The Großsedlitz Baroque Garden with the Friedrichschlösschen is located on a hill of the left bank of the Elbe southeast of Dresden in Großsedlitz, which belongs to the town of Heidenau in the Free State of Saxony. The village is situated on a plateau between the valleys of the Müglitz in the west and the Seidewitz in the east, which is a foothill of the Osterzgebirge. From there you have a view of the Elbe valley basin.

The garden, which covers about 18 hectares, is considered an outstanding example of French horticultural art in Saxony; it is one of the most authentic Baroque gardens in Germany and is one of the most important works of the Dresden Baroque, whose three leading architects designed it. Also noteworthy is the large number of bitter orange trees, which emphasize the architecture of the terraced garden space.
