Jacobstein, Wine garden pavilion in Radebeul, Germany.

Jacobstein is a circular pavilion with three windows and a massive domed roof standing on a rock outcrop at 180 meters above sea level. The structure was built with a cellar and surrounding walls featuring openings designed to serve both wine storage and defensive purposes.

Jacob Krause, master cooper of the Dresden court, built Jacobstein in 1742 on a rock outcrop above the Fliegenwedel vineyard he had bought in 1738. The building served as vintner lodging and tool storage, later as a pleasure pavilion. A 1.8-metre Bacchus statue with thyrsos originally crowned the dome; in 1953 Werner Hempel's copy replaced it. Since 1760 it has belonged with the Fliegenwedel vineyard to Schloss Wackerbarth.

The name Jacobstein refers to Jacob Krause, the Dresden court cooper master who built it in 1742 above his Fliegenwedel vineyard, bought in 1738. A 1.8-metre Bacchus figure with a thyrsos stood on the dome from the start, replaced in 1953 by a copy by Dresden sculptor Werner Hempel. Since 1760 the pavilion has belonged with the Fliegenwedel vineyard to Schloss Wackerbarth.

The pavilion connects to Schloss Wackerbarth via a wine path with views stretching toward Sächsische Schweiz and Meißen. The site is best visited in clear weather when distant views are most rewarding.

The perimeter wall is pierced by three embrasures built for small cannon, so the pavilion could fire salute shots over the vineyard. The 1.8-metre Bacchus with thyrsos on the dome was replaced in 1953 by a copy by Dresden sculptor Werner Hempel.
