Moritzburg, Municipality with Baroque castle in Meissen District, Germany

The municipality of Moritzburg extends over 46 square kilometers of land, featuring lakes, forests, and architectural structures in the Saxon countryside.

Originally named Eisenburg in 1294, the settlement received market town status in 1675 and was renamed Moritzburg in 1934 after the adjacent castle.

The Rüdenhof building houses a museum dedicated to German artist Käthe Kollwitz, who spent her final months there from 1944 to 1945.

Visitors can reach Moritzburg through the narrow-gauge railway line connecting Radebeul and Radeburg, with regular services throughout the day.

The Saxon state stud farm, established in 1828, maintains horse breeding traditions and conducts educational programs about equestrian heritage.
