Schloss Mosigkau

Schloss Mosigkau exhibits Baroque architecture with ornate stucco decorations, symmetrical design, and a central courtyard facing a formal French garden.

The castle, constructed between 1752 and 1757 by architect Georg Wenzeslaus von Knobelsdorff, served as a summer residence and later housed unmarried Protestant noblewomen.

The palace museum displays notable art pieces in its grand gallery, including works by Rubens and Van Dyck within richly decorated interiors.

The castle opens for guided tours, featuring exhibitions in the orangery and musical performances throughout the calendar year.

Princess Anne-Wilhelmine established a women-only residence policy, requiring male visitors to stay in separate pavilions during the 18th century.
