Johanneum, Renaissance building at Neumarkt, Dresden, Germany

The Johanneum features two floors with high round arch windows, a double-flight staircase, and decorative elements on its Renaissance facade at Augustusstrasse.

Built between 1586 and 1590 under Paul Buchner's direction, the structure initially served as royal stables with space for 128 horses and armor collections.

The building housed the royal painting collection from 1747 to 1855, followed by the Dresden Porcelain Collection and Armory collection in the 1870s.

The Dresden Transport Museum currently occupies the Johanneum, displaying various vehicles and transportation artifacts across multiple exhibition spaces.

Four spiral staircases positioned at each corner of the yard lead to the second floor, where noble guests were accommodated during the Renaissance period.
