Schloss Eckberg

Schloss Eckberg is a castle featuring Gothic Revival architecture situated on the Elbe River's right bank near Dresden. The property includes a large landscape garden surrounding the main building, along with conference facilities and dining options.

Merchant Johann Daniel Souchay had the castle built between 1859 and 1861, replacing an older structure that stood on the site. This construction period coincided with a wave of romantic-style rebuilding of estates along the Elbe River.

The castle reflects 19th-century romantic design with ornate details typical of Dresden's artistic traditions. The interior rooms preserve original furnishings and architectural elements that show how people lived during that era.

The property operates today as a hotel with dining and conference spaces available. Tram Line 11 provides convenient access, stopping at the Elbschlösser Oberelbe station nearby.

The estate contains a neo-Gothic greenhouse still visible today, showing how wealthy families once cultivated exotic plants on the property. The surrounding gardens were designed by Hermann Sigismund Neumann, the same landscape architect who created the neighboring Schloss Albrechtsberg's grounds.
