The château sits at Am Keppschloß 27 in Dresden's Hosterwitz district and is visible from the valley below. Access involves a steep path uphill, so expect some climbing when approaching.
The estate offers access to Keppgrund, a natural area featuring a stream and forest that combines neo-gothic architecture with natural surroundings. This green space at the foot of the castle provides a quiet retreat near the city.
