Dessau Palace, Renaissance palace in Dessau-Roßlau, Germany.
The Dessau Palace features a remaining three-story wing called Johannbau, constructed with sandstone blocks and decorated with Renaissance architectural elements.
The palace, originally built in the 16th century as a four-winged structure, served as the primary residence for the princes of Anhalt-Dessau until World War II.
The City History Museum inside the Johannbau wing exhibits collections that detail the development of Dessau from medieval times through its industrial period.
Visitors can access the palace museum daily from 10:00 to 17:00, with guided tours available in German and English through advance reservation.
The palace underwent reconstruction between 1990 and 2005, preserving original Renaissance details while incorporating modern museum facilities in the Johannbau wing.
