Ostravorwerk, Heritage farmstead in Friedrichstadt, Dresden, Germany
The Ostravorwerk is a historical farmstead with several original buildings and structures that reflect Saxon agricultural traditions. The complex shows various structures that together formed a working estate ensemble.
The farmstead was established in 1559 to supply the Dresden court and fortress with food, replacing the former village of Ostra. This transformation marked the start of what became Friedrichstadt, a district of Dresden.
The property displays the architecture of working estates typical in Central Europe, with residential and farm buildings standing side by side. You can see how these spaces were used daily and how life functioned on such a complex.
The site is protected as a cultural heritage monument and subject to special access regulations. Visitors should check in advance what areas are accessible and whether guided tours or specific opening times apply.
The site was originally a populated village that was entirely displaced to make way for the new estate. This drastic resettlement project is less known today but demonstrated princely power in the 16th century.
