Englische Treppe, Baroque staircase in Dresden Castle, Germany.
The English Staircase extends through multiple levels of Dresden Castle, featuring marble steps, sandstone fireplaces, and decorated walls with neobaroque designs.
Originally built in 1692 by Johann Georg Starcke, the staircase received its name in 1693 to mark Elector Johann Georg IV's investiture into the English Order of the Garter.
The staircase displays sculptures representing four continents - America, Africa, Asia, and Europe - along with the coats of arms of King Albert and Queen Carola.
Visitors can access the English Staircase during regular Dresden Castle opening hours, connecting different sections of the residence palace complex.
The structure underwent complete reconstruction between 2006 and 2010, incorporating both original baroque elements and nineteenth-century neobaroque additions.
