Luisium, Neoclassical château in Dessau-Roßlau, Germany.

The Luisium features symmetrical architecture with precise proportions, incorporating large windows and classical columns across its white facade.

Duke Leopold III commissioned architect Friedrich Wilhelm von Erdmannsdorff to build this residence in 1774 as a gift for his wife Louise.

The château forms part of the Dessau-Wörlitz Garden Realm, recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its landscape architecture.

The palace includes a horse stable complex designed to reflect the same classical architectural style as the main building.
