With the sophisticated inn \u2018Zum Eichenkranz\u2019, Prince Franz had a gatehouse built that would have done credit to any metropolis. Viewed from the outside, it is the entrance to the city – from the inside a gateway to the Garden Realm, which still welcomes and says goodbye to its guests today.<\/p>\n

History<\/div>

Of upscale hospitality<\/h4>\t\t\t\t\t\t

The three-winged half-timbered building, visible from afar, was constructed between 1785 and 1787 according to plans by architect Friedrich Wilhelm von Erdmannsdorff. The inn was designed to be the social centre of the town and a lodging for discerning travellers, artists, scholars and nobles. Indeed, the prince even instructed his construction manager, Georg Christoph Hesekiel, \u2018that this inn, intended more for strangers, should not become a drinking establishment for locals.\u2019 <\/p>\n

In 2004, the Gesellschaft der Freunde des Dessau-W\u00f6rlitzer Gartenreich e.V. took over the oak wreath and had it gradually renovated. Today, it is no longer open for overnight stays – but with many events and events, it is once again developing into the centre of the cultural and tourist life of the city of W\u00f6rlitz.<\/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 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

Would you like to understand why W\u00f6rlitz Park had such an enormous \u2018wow effect\u2019 on its visitors in the 18th century? On the second floor of the Eichenkranz, you can walk through the history of garden design and trace its transformation from the biblical paradise, through antiquity, the Renaissance and the Baroque period, to the development of the English garden.<\/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_single_image image=”18601″ img_size=”box-double-image” alignment=”center” css_animation=”none” css=”” woodmart_inline=”no” parallax_scroll=”no” el_class=”bild-oben”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column el_class=”welterbe-akkordion-container hell” woodmart_css_id=”61adc2bcb9a4c” parallax_scroll=”no” woodmart_sticky_column=”false” wd_collapsible_content_switcher=”no” mobile_bg_img_hidden=”no” tablet_bg_img_hidden=”no” woodmart_parallax=”0″ woodmart_box_shadow=”no” mobile_reset_margin=”no” tablet_reset_margin=”no” wd_z_index=”no”][vc_custom_heading text=”Information for your visit” use_theme_fonts=”yes” css=”” el_class=”akkordion-ueberschrift”][vc_tta_accordion style=”flat” shape=”square” c_icon=”triangle” c_position=”right” active_section=”0″ no_fill=”true” collapsible_all=”true” el_class=”welterbe-akkordion”][vc_tta_section title=”Opening hours and guided tours 2026″ tab_id=”oeffnungszeiten6cf4-4665f4de-628d”][vc_column_text css=”” woodmart_inline=”no” text_larger=”no”]<\/p>\n
