The Zwinger is a palatial complex with gardens in Dresden, Germany. Designed by architect Matthäus Daniel Pöppelmann, it is one of the most important buildings of the Baroque period in Germany. Along with the Frauenkirche, the Zwinger is the most famous architectural monument of Dresden. The name "Zwinger" goes back to the name used in the Middle Ages for a fortress part between the outer and inner fortress walls, even though the Zwinger no longer had a function corresponding to the name at the start of construction. The Zwinger was built in 1709 as an orangery and garden as well as a representative festival area. Its richly decorated pavilions and the galleries lined with balustrades, figures and vases testify to the splendor during the reign of Augustus the Strong, Elector of Saxony and elected King of Poland. In the original conception of the elector, the Zwinger was the forecourt of a new castle that would take up the area between it and the Elbe; therefore, the Zwinger remained undeveloped on the Elbe side (provisionally closed with a wall). The plans for a new castle were abandoned after the death of Augustus the Strong, and with the departure from the Baroque period, the Zwinger initially lost importance. It was only over a century later that the architect Gottfried Semper completed it with the Semper Gallery towards the Elbe. The building was mostly destroyed by the carpet bombing raids of 13–15 February 1945. The art collection had been previously evacuated, however. Reconstruction, supported by the Soviet military administration, began in 1945; parts of the restored complex were opened to the public in 1951. By 1963 the Zwinger had largely been restored to its pre-war state.

(Translated by Google) Very cool. (Original) Очень круто.

Ein absolutes Muss, diesen historischen Ort zu besuchen. Wer nicht im Zwinger war, war nicht in Dresden. Verschiedenste Dauer- Ausstellungen sind dort anzusehen. Alle sehr sehenswert. Schade, dass dort im Dezember eine große Baustelle war.

(Translated by Google) Very nice (Original) Sehr schön

I AM SUCH A LUCKY WOMAN ;My husband love to travel and i get see these beautiful places, sometimes i feel like Alice in wonderland. the place is so amazing i cannot tell you enough, you have to visit . the garden is absolutely magnificent the whole place is just drop dead gorgeous, can't imagine the fun people use to have those day.

The Zwinger complex is incomprehensible until you’ve visited! You have no idea how grand it is until you’re there. We visited the grounds and the Old Masters Picture Gallery. Even though the grounds are getting worked on, the architecture is impressive enough to appreciate its grandeur. We really enjoyed the gallery as well.

The Zwinger is a really beautiful place housing a really nice museum that contains statues and art. It is definitely one of the places you simply cannot miss in Dresden.

Ein großes historisches Gelände, voller Barockgebäuden, die Stadtmauer wurde bereits im 12. Jahrhundert errichtet, und im frühen 18. Jahrhundert für einen Orangengarten von August der Starke erweitert, und für verschiedene Veranstaltungen, Konzerte und Theatervorstellungen genutzt. Wird zur Zeit immer noch renoviert an der einen oder anderen Ecke. Trotzdem sehr schön zu laufen, es befindet sich ein Café und es finden hier Führungen statt.

Dieser Ort ist einfach wunderschön. Diese historischen und edlen Gebäude sind einfach toll, man fühlt sich gleich in der Zeit zurück versetzt. Es ist dort sehr sauber, gut gepflegt und man kann dort schön spazieren. Im Innenhof herrscht leider eine große Baustelle und die Bauzäune sind natürlich nicht so schön für das Gesamtbild, aber wenn der Bau fertig ist, wird es sicher wieder ganz toll dort sein.

(Translated by Google) A very beautiful palace. Various museums are located in separate buildings, including the famous Dresden Gallery. The courtyard of this complex is beautifully decorated with flower beds, fountains and ponds. The entrance gate to the courtyard is decorated with a very beautiful, huge crown. (Original) Очень красивый дворец. В отдельных зданиях находятся различные музеи, в том числе и знаменитая Дрезденская галерея. Прекрасен двор этого комплекса украшен цветниками, фонтанами и водоемами. Ворота входа во двор украшены очень красивой, огромной короной.

(Translated by Google) Nice building. (Original) Schönes Bauwerk.

A perfect place to visit during your time in Dresden. I went in spring and it was beautiful. It has many spots for photos and it is very nice to walk all around the gardens and the palace.

Visited on weekdays, not crowded so it was a good walk around the building. Nice garden with interesting baroque architecture. However, a large part of it is still undergoing some constructions.

Breathtaking and amazing palace. Even though I have been here countless times, this palace never ceases to impress me. If you visit Dresden, this place is definitely a must-see. It is free of charge to look around the building. (Unfortunately it’s under construction at the moment).

Monumentales Bauwerk mit Geschichte und Sonderausstellungen, sicherlich im Normalfall ein Augenschmaus, allerdings aktuell Großbaustelle im Innenhof, aber man bezahlt ja keinen Eintritt...

The main attraction in Dresden. On of the most beautiful palaces in Europe. A lot of spots to make many beautiful photos. The regular price of enter to the gallery is 12 euro. If you are a student and have a student's ticket(It does not matter international or national. I had a national student card on national language), you will pay 9 euro. The ticket includes not only enter to the gallery, but also enters to several other expositions on the territory of the palace.

Beautiful architecture, magnificent views. Even better on a sunny day. Definitely worth to take pictures with friends and family. It is fun to walk around for a fresh scenery. You can choose different museums and galleries within the location. Embrace the history of Dresden.

Stunning palace and great art and porcelain galleries. Definitely worth a visit. There is also a nice cafe looking onto the garden.

This is one of a kind Baroque Palace, very well conserved and surrounded by other amazing buildings, it makes Dresden a very special city to visit in Germany and in Europe. its possible to walk all around, there is a water channel around it and it perfect for any kind of wether. There are some indoors exhibition and you can not miss this visit during you stay in Dresden

Beautiful place with so much history. Visited the places whilst in a trip to Dresden and it’s so beautiful with a lot of history dating back to Augustus the strong. I recommend a visit whenever in Dresden. I had a tour guide who said a lot about the history who was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic.

Incredible place! Sadly we were here during renovations, so we didn't get to see it in it's full glory, but it's super cool even under construction.

Very interesting set of buildings. Totally rebuilt after the war by using whatever blocks were still useable. The orange (as in the fruit) greenhouse is marvelous.

Stunning and impressive. Most important monument architecture in Dresden. It is a complex with gardens built in 1709. Acknowledged a masterpiece of baroque architecture, it now houses internationally renowned museums and is the stage for many renowned music and drama performances.

I found this area amazing. These buildings were an inspiration to restoration! When you look back at the history of Dresden and what happened to it during world was 2, you'd never think it had ever been obliterated. what a pretty city it is now.

We were unable to go inside and the courtyard was a huge construction site. However the buildings were still a beautiful sight to see, even if only from the outside.

Leider befand/befindet sich der Innenhof gerade im Umbau und nicht alle Teile des Zwingers sind zugänglich. Dennoch war es ein schöner Besuch. Allein die Architektur ist imposant. Schön finde ich, das alles getan wird um dieses "Kunstwerk" zu erhalten. Ich habe annähernd zwei Stunden damit verbracht alles zu erkunden. Ich werde meinen Besuch auf jedenfall wiederholen, wenn der Innenhof fertig ist.

The complex is having sone restoration/construction but I still had a great time admiring and walking along the corridors of the baroque palace! Very impressive architecture and lots of interesting structures…

Traumhaft schön und sehr beeindruckend! Man kann sehr lange spazieren und staunen, oder Museum der alten Meister besuchen. Auch die aktuelle Baustelle stört nicht. Trotzdem ist das einmalig und absolutes Muss wenn man in Dresden ist.

This is a must see if you are in the Dresden area. Incredible is all I can say. If its open it will be even better so you can see the inside.

Main tourist attraction in dresden. Must visit. Amazing view in night also. Loved it.

Palace has a wonderful porcelain exhibition (open Friday, Saturday, Sunday only). The exhibition contains Chinese and Japanese porcelain with colorful ornaments, as well as European porcelain. The exhibition is full with incredible porcelain figures and statues. Zwinger palace itself is totally worth visiting. Overall, palace has a beautiful garden, architecture is incredible, however usually busy with tourists.

Beautiful castle. Love how you can walk along the wall and the middle of it for free. There are old statues all along the side. You can slso pay to see a concert which was very pretty

Stunning views of the palace, well worth a quick visit. Shame there was restoration working being undertaken, otherwise would have been 5*

The heart of Germany for tourist. The palace is huge and so beutiful. There are many kind of museums where you need more than half day to slowly enjoy and digest.

(Translated by Google) Pre-pandemic review. All of Dresden is a beautiful city. The amount of effort and work to restore the city (after carpet raids during the war) evokes admiration and respect. The whole old town is full of objects that the camera lens will love. It takes a long, long time to learn a little bit of the history of this city. I have been several times and each time I discovered new, beautiful places. Although I am not a fan of visiting "old stones" anymore, Dresden is one of the few cities to which people like to come back. (Original) Opinia sprzed pandemii. Całe Drezno to przepiękne miasto. Ilość wysiłku i pracy w odrestaurowanie miasta (po nalotach dywanowych w czasie wojny) budzi podziw i szacunek. Całe stare miasto jest pełne obiektów, które pokocha obiektyw aparatu fotograficznego. Wiele, wiele czasu trzeba, aby choć odrobinę poznać historię tego miasta. Byłem kilka razy i za każdym odkrywałem nowe, przepiękne miejsca. Choć już nie jestem zwolennikiem zwiedzania ,,starych kamieni", to Drezno należy do kilku miast, do których chętnie się wraca. Polecam.

(Translated by Google) The famous architectural ensemble of Dresden - the Zwinger, executed in the Baroque style, was built in 1709 under Augustus the Strong, and even then became one of the main attractions of the city. The Zwinger is decorated with unique sculptures made by different masters of that era. In those years, the complex was surrounded by wooden houses; it was the place where the Saxon nobility met during tournaments and ceremonies. In the period from 1710 to 1719 the architect Peppelmann, by order of the Elector August the Strong, built the Zwinger from sandstone. The pavilions and galleries on the side of the city walls were once greenhouses, and the gilded crown that adorns the complex is perhaps the most interesting element in the city, it is most often photographed. The building of the complex is decorated with statues of the heroes of ancient Greek myths; there are fountains next to the pavilion. In some halls of the palace today there are museums, here you can see a collection of porcelain, which is considered one of the richest in the world. Of great interest is the armory, where costumes and weapons are kept. The Dresden Picture Gallery is also noteworthy, its building was built by the architect Semper in 1847-1854. There are canvases by masters from the Renaissance to the Baroque, there is even Raphael's "Sistine Madonna". (Original) Известный архитектурный ансамбль Дрездена - Цвингер, исполненный в стиле барокко, был построен в 1709 году при Августе Сильном, он уже тогда стал одной из самых главных достопримечательностей города. Цвингер украшен уникальным скульптурами, выполненными разными мастерами той эпохи. Комплекс в те года окружали деревянные дома, он являлся местом, где саксонская придворная знать встречалась во время проведения турниров и торжественных мероприятий. В период с 1710 по 1719 годы архитектор Пеппельман по указу курфюрста Августа Сильного соорудил Цвингер из песчаника. Павильоны и галереи со стороны городских стен когда-то были оранжереями, а позолоченная корона, украшающая комплекс, - пожалуй, самый интересный элемент в городе, ее фотографируют чаще всего. Здание комплекса украшено статуями героев древнегреческих мифов, рядом с павильоном расположены фонтаны. В некоторых залах дворца сегодня находится музеи, здесь можно увидеть коллекцию фарфора, которая считается одной из самых богатых в мире. Большой интерес вызывает оружейная палата, где хранятся костюмы и оружие. Заслуживает внимания и Дрезденская картинная галерея, ее здание было построено по проекту архитектора Земпера в 1847-1854 годы. Тут хранятся полотна мастеров от эпохи Ренессанса до барокко, есть даже «Сикстинская мадонна» Рафаэля.

The Zwinger is a building complex with gardens in Dresden. The total work of art of architecture, sculpture and painting, built under the direction of the architect Matthäus Daniel Pöppelmann and the sculptor Balthasar Permoser, is one of the most important buildings of the Baroque era and, along with the Frauenkirche, is the most famous architectural monument in Dresden. Its name Zwinger goes back to the name used in the Middle Ages for a part of the fortress between the outer and inner fortress walls, although the Zwinger no longer fulfilled a function corresponding to its name when construction began.The Zwinger was built from 1709 as an orangery and garden as well as a representative festival area. Its richly decorated pavilions and the galleries lined with balustrades, figures and vases bear witness to the magnificence during the reign of Elector Friedrich August I (also known as "August the Strong") and his claim to power. In the original conception of the elector, the Zwinger was intended as the forecourt of a new palace, which should take the place up to the Elbe; therefore the kennel on the Elbe side initially remained undeveloped (provisionally closed with a wall). The plans for a new palace were given up after the death of Augustus the Strong, and with the departure from the Baroque era, the Zwinger lost its importance. Only over a century later did the architect Gottfried Semper complete it with the Sempergalerie facing the Elbe.The Sempergalerie, which opened in 1855, was one of the most important German museum projects of the 19th century and enabled the expansion of the use of the Zwinger as a museum complex, which has grown under the influences of the times since the 18th century. The air raids on Dresden on February 13 and 14, 1945 hit the Zwinger hard and resulted in extensive destruction. Since it was rebuilt in the 1950s and 1960s, the Zwinger has housed the Old Masters Picture Gallery, the Mathematical-Physical Salon and the Porcelain Collection. The original purpose as an orangery, garden and representative festival area has taken a back seat; the latter, however, continues to be cultivated with the performance of music and theater events.

(Translated by Google) I liked it very much. Indescribable beauty. I agree with those who call it the most beautiful architectural complex in Germany. For some reason, in the courtyard, a rag pavilion in the form of a hemisphere was placed in the middle, and some of the pavilions were fenced off, but maybe this is even for the best, otherwise I would not have been able to leave this wonderful place at all. The Zwinger is located near the Elbe embankment, next to the complex are the Dresden Opera House and the Royal Residence Castle. This neighborhood is more than logical - after all, the Zwinger was originally conceived as a park area, a greenhouse for citrus fruits that are outlandish for Saxony. The idea to create the Zwinger belongs to the Saxon Elector Augustus the Strong (he not only ordered the construction and financed it, but also sketched the plan of this complex with his own hand), and they began to build it in 1709. It is interesting that in fact at the same time, in 1711, they began to build Peterhof in distant Russia, and our Peter I himself also developed a plan for this residence. Both rulers were inspired by Versailles, but each turned out to be different in the end) The complexes stylistically overlap, although, no doubt, each is interesting and good in its own way. You remember Peterhof looking at the local fountains. Some of them even work)) Although, the main water attraction - the Bath of Nymphs - was not working at the time of our visit. The nymphs did not deign to swim ... I had to take pictures like this, imagining how beautiful the water would play here ... And also admire the nymphs that adorn the walls of this cozy place. Finding the Bath of Nymphs is quite difficult, it is hidden behind the French Pavilion, this plan helped us to find it (the bath on it is marked with the number 5). BUT this lan was the only one to help you navigate. Perhaps this can be called a drawback of the Zwinger - there are no pointers in it. It seems that I have read what is where, but the pointers in place would have helped to navigate faster. Another place that attracts the eyes of all visitors to the Zwinger (and you don't need to look for it for a long time !!) is the Crown Gate, built in 1712. They are considered one of the symbols of the complex. The upward-looking columns are crowned with a huge crown of Poland (after all, Augustus the Strong was not only the elector of Saxony, he was also able to become the king of Poland) Another nod to Augustus the Strong is the statue of Hercules, who holds the globe on his shoulders (the statue is on the roof of the Bell Pavilion). Flatterers-contemporaries called Augustus "Saxon Hercules")) I think that further it is possible not to continue Initially, the Zwinger was made of wood, but even before the death of Augustus the Strong, it was rebuilt in stone. The work was supervised by the architect Peppelmann, under his leadership, three of the four sides were built that bound the courtyard of the complex. And the fourth side - the building of the Dresden Art Gallery - was built more than a century later (1847-55) according to the project of the German architect Semper. The building was built in the neo-Renaissance style, but it successfully complemented the baroque architecture of the existing pavilions and created the very image of the Zwinger that we enjoy today. B (Original) Мне он очень понравился. Красота неописуемая. Согласна с теми, кто называет его красивейшим архитектурным комплексом Германии. Во внутреннем дворе зачем-то поставили посередине тряпичный павильон в виде полусферы, да и часть павильонов была огорожена забором, но, может, это даже и к лучшему, иначе бы я вообще не смогла уйти из этого дивного места. Находится Цвингер недалеко от набережной Эльбы, рядом с комплексом расположились Дрезденский оперный театр и королевский Замок-резиденция. Это соседство более чем логично - ведь изначально Цвингер задумывался как парковая зона, оранжерея для диковинных для Саксонии цитрусовых. Идея создать Цвингер принадлежит саксонскому курфюсту Августу Сильному (он не только выступал заказчиком строительства и финансировал его, но и собственноручно набросал план этого комплекса), строить начали в 1709 году. Интересно, что фактически в то же время, в 1711 году начали строить Петергоф в далекой России, и наш Петр I тоже сам разработал план этой резиденции. И того, и другого правителя вдохновил Версаль, но получилось у каждого в итоге свое ) Комплексы стилистически перекликаются, хотя, без сомнений, каждый интересен и хорош по своему. О Петергофе вспоминаешь, глядя на местные фонтаны. Некоторые из них даже работают )) Хотя, главный водный аттракцион - Купальня нимф - в момент нашего визита не работал. Не изволили нимфы купаться... Пришлось фотографировать так, представляя, как красиво играла бы здесь вода... А также любоваться на нимф, украшающих стены этого уютного местечка. Найти Купальню нимф довольно нелегко, она спрятана за Французским павильоном, найти ее нам помог вот этот план (купальня на нем обозначена цифрой 5). НО этотп лан был единственным, помогающим сориентироваться. Наверное, это можно назвать недостатком Цвингера - в нем нет указателей. Вроде бы и читала, что где находится, но указатели на месте помогли бы быстрее сориентироваться. Еще одно место, которое притягивает взоры всех посетителей Цвингера (и его не нужно долго искать!!) - это Коронные ворота, построенные в 1712 году. Их считают одним из символов комплекса. Устремленные вверх колонны венчает огромная корона Польши (ведь Август Сильный был не только курфюртом Саксонии, он смог стать еще и королем Польши) Еще один реверанс в сторону Августа Сильного - это статуя Геркулеса, который держит на плечах земной шар (статуя находится на крыше Колокольного павильона). Льстецы-современники называли Августа "саксонским Геркулесом" )) думаю, что дальше можно не продолжать Изначально Цвингер был деревянным, но еще до смерти Августа Сильного, его отстроили в камне. Руководил работами архитектор Пеппельманн, под его руководством были построены три из четырех сторон, ограничивающих внутренний двор комплекса. А четвертую сторону -здание Дрезденской картинной галереи - было построено более века спусти (1847-55 годах) по проекту немецкого архитектора Земпера. Здание построено в стиле неоренесансса, но удачно дополнило барочную архитектуру существующих павильонов и создало тот самый образ Цвингера, которым наслаждаемся мы в настоящее время. Б

Huge (!) Place, so many things to see in and out. Super touristic, I recommend to come before dark. *The place is in renovation period... 1/3 is closed... ** Stop using horses as vehicles. 2021, use your own legs.

Perfect place and perfect experience for all the visitors, especially for the ones who love mixed style building, with an accent on the gothic one. There are many details in it that also caught my attention, but the entrance is definitely something special. Date taken: April 2014.

One of the most popular tourist attraction in Dresden. Close to Theatplast tram/bus stop. The building looks very beautiful and well-maintained. There were some constructions that make the access to some spots in the area are limited. You can find many restaurants around this area too.

Visited on 6 Jun 2022. A very impressive building which showcase the Saxon duchy and kingdom's architecture style

Reallynice place to visit, I did in winter time so I think I prefer back in a good time to enjoy more thus beautiful place. They are rebuilding now so I hope when I will back I can be ready to visit completely

A spectacular historical place. So for the history lover, it is a must. There are many things including museums and a lot of tremendous statuses. The area took me back in those days hundreds of years ago.

I have visited Zwinger 5 years ago and it was beautiful, with its gardens, grass and fountains. Right now it is a huge construction site with closed entrances, limited access and poorly marked directions for tourists. If you plan to visit, better wait 2 years, then it should be beautiful again. However, Old Masters gallery is still worth seeing.

This palatial complex with garden dates from the 18th century. Along with the Frauenkirche are the two most famous architectural monuments in Dresden. If you walk from the Main Station you can reach it in about 15-20 minutes.

Strongly recommend to get a guide (e.g. free walking tour) as the palace is huge and many interesting stories about it. There are so many small little details you may miss out without a good guide. There is a construction going on, so now may not be the best time to visit.

under a big construction right now nothing much to see besides the three museums (pottery, art and artillery) but still worth a visit if you're in dresden lots of tourists

The tickets are good price and the views are amazing. You can enjoy good coffee and cake at the castle balcony with the view of old Town monuments

It’s unbeliveable that how gorgeous this palace is. If you’re in Dresden and haven’t seen here yet, it would be such a loss. Transporting is easy and not complicated here, also not that crowded (at least I haven’t seen much people around), so it’s easy to get here. Highly recommended.

Very nice place to spend a day or at least an afternoon or morning. Plenty of things to do and calm surroundings which makes this plus placce a bit like French chateaux.

You can walk around the complex for free. The architecture is stunning, each building has its purpose. One or two are also a museum and the tour guide told us that it would take us around 2 hours to visit everything. Unfortunately, the centre of the building is under construction since they found some ancient Roman excavations and the archaeologists aren't allowing them to reconstruct anything until they finish with exploring.

Beautiful baroque palace, but unfortunately, the garden was closed due to the works. We took a stroll around the pala e and entered the terrace with a geeat view of the whole Dresden old town. We did not enter the gallery.

Unfortunately, during our visit, the courtyard was being renovated - with the entire thing having been dug up. The buildings are still impressive and the architecture is interesting. It's a huge building with multiply attractions. The place is a combination of a baroque palace, museums, an art gallery, a park, a terrace, with fountains, stairs sculptures. A beautiful place to discover, learn and relax.. An absolute must see in Dresden!

The work in the courtyard will take a while to finish but to us the lack of signage to get into the three exhibitions open wasted 30 minutes of our day and the rude woman at the Zwinger Experience was another negative. The exhibitions we saw were impressive.

Beautiful The whole museum is beautiful, whether it is on the inside or outside, the architecture and the collection will not disappoint you ! We took tickets for the porcelain exhibition and the gallery and didn't have enough time to visit everything unfortunately... But it was definitely worth it !

Very beautiful baroque historical place. Beautiful view, garden, lake. Good place for spending time with the family, friends or just to find a bench and spend time with yourself . And it’s a perfect place for photo session . We went there when it was reconstruction’s works . Exciting to see that next time when they will finish renovations. If you’re planning to visit Dresden it’s a must have place to visit.

I really enjoyed Zwinger in Dresden😍 It is enormous art complex. You can walk around and take pictures for free. There are some renovations inside the yard, so in some time it will be even more magnificent! And there are some museums and galleries inside the complex.

Great museum with lots of porcelain pieces. However be aware that there are two separate exhibitions, one on the left side of the staircase and one on the right side. The entry fee was only 6 euros. It is however mandatory to use a locker for your coat and backpack.

Ein wunderschönes Bauwerk, welches man mal live gesehen haben muss. Auch wenn zurzeit dort eine Baustelle ist, sieht es von außen immer noch sehr eindrucksvoll aus.
