Moritzburg Castle, Baroque castle and museum in Moritzburg, Germany.
The castle rises on an artificial island surrounded by a lake, featuring four round towers and a symmetrical architectural layout.
Duke Maurice of Saxony ordered the construction of this hunting lodge between 1542 and 1546, which later transformed into a palace under Augustus the Strong.
The interior displays an extensive collection of hunting trophies, gilt leather tapestries, and a room decorated with more than one million colored feathers.
The palace opens Tuesday through Sunday from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM, offering access to both the main building and surrounding park grounds.
The castle grounds include Saxony's only lighthouse, built to stage naval battles for entertainment during royal festivities.
