Wallpavillon, Baroque pavilion in Zwinger complex, Dresden, Germany
The Wallpavillon features a semicircular structure with a crown-shaped dome, decorated with sculptures, stucco work, and figurative reliefs representing Greek mythology elements.
Architect Matthäus Daniel Pöppelmann and sculptor Balthasar Permoser constructed the Wallpavillon between 1710 and 1728 during the reign of Augustus II of Saxony.
The main hall contains a dome ceiling with mythological frescoes and houses an extensive collection of Meissen porcelain from the Saxon royal collection.
The pavilion remains open daily from 6:00 AM until midnight, with free access to the courtyard while specific exhibitions require separate admission fees.
The structure combines a staircase connecting the Zwinger courtyard to an adjacent wall with an elevated hall, featuring two layers of sculptural decorations.
