Schloss Moritzburg
"pheasant house"
Rococo-style maison de plaisance. 2 km exactly east of the castle with whom it forms a visual axis.
Leuchtturm
350 km off the nearest seashore, it never had a nautical function, but is a "folly" built as part of a scenery for the reenactment of naval battles.
Landgestüt Moritzburg
The Baroque-style stud buildings were designed by court architect Matthäus Daniel Pöppelmann in 1733. The state-owned farm provides heavy warmblood, coldblood and Haflinger stallions for all of Saxony and Thuringia, as well as implementing horse performance tests. It also includes a riding school.
"game preserve"
Zoo, encompassing almost 100 acres, with more than 30 indigenous species like wolves, foxes, lynxes, deer, elk, moose, boars, moufflons. They are kept in near-natural enclosures, relatively appropriate for the species. Moreover the park includes a high-rope course, falconry, and educational trail on ants.
Museum dedicated to the artist Käthe Kollwitz, who lived here during the last months of her life in 1944/45.
Baroque Revival church, built in 1902–04. The steeple is 47 metres high.
Great restaurant with typical seasonal German dishes and a great terrace.
By bus
Public buses are both cheaper and more frequent than the steam train that is primarily a tourist attraction and only secondarily a mode of transport.
All information about public transport is available at the homepage of the Public transport authority Upper Elbe (VVO).
