Mosigkau Palace is unique in the Garden Realm of Dessau-W\u00f6rlitz: As a charming example of Rococo architecture, it captivates with its elegant but also playful design. The building exudes a special lightness, with magnificent jewellery combined with a harmonious, symmetrical structure \u2013 both outside and inside.<\/p>\n

History<\/div>

Little Sanssouci<\/h4>\t\t\t\t\t\t

The history of the palace begins with a generous gesture by Prince Leopold I of Anhalt-Dessau, better known as the “Old Dessauer”. He gave his favourite daughter Anna Wilhelmine of Anhalt-Dessau the estates on which the castle was built from 1752 onwards as her summer residence.<\/p>\n

The construction work was under the supervision of Christian Friedrich Damm, but there are indications that the designs could possibly have come from the famous Prussian master builder Georg Wenzeslaus von Knobelsdorff. So it’s no wonder that Mosigkau Palace is often affectionately referred to as “little Sanssouci”.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row el_id=”gondola rides” woodmart_css_id=”61c0f77fc8a31″ mobile_bg_img_hidden=”no” tablet_bg_img_hidden=”no” woodmart_parallax=”0″ woodmart_gradient_switch=”no” woodmart_box_shadow=”no” wd_z_index=”no” woodmart_disable_overflow=”0″ row_reverse_mobile=”0″ row_reverse_tablet=”0″][vc_column][vc_text_separator title=”Come on in!” color=”black” css=”” el_class=”welterbe-abschnitt-ueberschrift”][vc_custom_heading text=”What to expect” font_container=”tag:p|text_align:center” use_theme_fonts=”yes” css_animation=”appear” css=”” el_class=”welterbe-abschnitt-beschreibung”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row woodmart_css_id=”61c0887e718b1″ mobile_bg_img_hidden=”no” tablet_bg_img_hidden=”no” woodmart_parallax=”0″ woodmart_gradient_switch=”no” woodmart_box_shadow=”no” wd_z_index=”no” woodmart_disable_overflow=”0″ row_reverse_mobile=”0″ row_reverse_tablet=”0″ el_id=”Public guided tours of the park”][vc_column width=”1\/2″ el_class=”welterbe-akkordion-container hell” woodmart_css_id=”65c0af331c0d3″ parallax_scroll=”no” woodmart_sticky_column=”false” wd_collapsible_content_switcher=”no” wd_column_role_offcanvas_desktop=”no” wd_column_role_offcanvas_tablet=”no” wd_column_role_offcanvas_mobile=”no” wd_column_role_content_desktop=”no” wd_column_role_content_tablet=”no” wd_column_role_content_mobile=”no” mobile_bg_img_hidden=”no” tablet_bg_img_hidden=”no” woodmart_parallax=”0″ woodmart_box_shadow=”no” responsive_spacing=”eyJwYXJhbV90eXBlIjoid29vZG1hcnRfcmVzcG9uc2l2ZV9zcGFjaW5nIiwic2VsZWN0b3JfaWQiOiI2NWMwYWYzMzFjMGQzIiwic2hvcnRjb2RlIjoidmNfY29sdW1uIiwiZGF0YSI6eyJ0YWJsZXQiOnt9LCJtb2JpbGUiOnt9fX0=” mobile_reset_margin=”no” tablet_reset_margin=”no” wd_z_index=”no”]\t\t\t
