Hubertusburg, Baroque hunting lodge in Wermsdorf, Germany
Description
Hubertusburg is a hunting lodge in Wermsdorf, Germany, presenting itself with symmetrically arranged wings and a central three-story main building in baroque style. The facade shows sandstone elements, pilasters and cornices, while the interior rooms are partly preserved or restored.
History
Augustus the Strong commissioned the construction in 1721, transforming a simple hunting house into a large palace. The Seven Years War ended here in 1763 with the peace treaty between Prussia and Austria.
Culture
The name refers to Saint Hubertus, patron of hunters, which mirrors the original purpose as a hunting residence. The rococo chapel shows colored stucco work and gilded ornaments that were common at court in those days.
Practical
The grounds can be explored on foot, with the main facade clearly visible and certain areas accessible at specific times. Guided tours offer deeper insight into rooms and chapel, provided they are currently available.
Did you know?
The rooms served temporarily as a military hospital, barracks and agricultural school after the war, leaving traces inside. Some wall paneling and parquet floors still date from the original construction period and were altered through later uses.
