| A Zwinger is a defensive area in front of a fortress or a killing ground that enemy forces must pass to get to the castle. The Dresden Zwinger is a palace built in the Baroque style but got its name from having formed part of a protective Zwinger. Being fully restored after World War II, visitors are able to enjoy this architectural masterpiece inside and out. Visitors enjoy the gardens and courtyards dotted with fountains and statues, where grand performances are still held. The Dresden Zwinger still protects treasures, as it now houses museums and performing arts stages. Since 1728, the Zwinger has housed collections including the Porcelain Collection and the Royal Cabinet of Mathematical and Physical Instruments. Here you’ll find paintings by the Old Masters as well as an impressive collection of armors. |
