Dessau, UNESCO World Heritage Site in Saxony-Anhalt, Germany
The Garden Kingdom of Dessau-Wörlitz extends across 142 square kilometers, featuring numerous parks, palaces, and architectural structures along the Elbe River.
Prince Leopold III Friedrich Franz transformed Dessau during the Age of Enlightenment, establishing the first neoclassical building in Germany at Schloss Wörlitz between 1769 and 1773.
The Bauhaus Dessau Foundation maintains the architectural legacy through exhibitions, research programs, and educational initiatives focused on modern design principles.
Visitors can access guided tours of multiple heritage sites throughout the year, with the main attractions connected by walking paths and bicycle routes.
The Gothic House in Dessau, completed in 1774, introduced new architectural elements that influenced the development of Gothic Revival style across European construction.
