Kleiner Ballsaal, Royal dance hall in Dresden Castle, Germany
The Small Ballroom spans 120 square meters on the second floor of the Georgenbau, featuring views toward the Frauenkirche through its windows.
Court architect Bernhard Krüger, a student of Gottfried Semper, designed this room between 1865 and 1868 as part of King Johann's construction project.
The interior displays marble surfaces, gold leaf decorations, and stucco work, with musical putti and floral children motifs representing the Historicism style.
Visitors can access the exhibition space daily from 10 AM to 6 PM except Tuesdays, with regular admission at 14 euros and reduced tickets at 10.50 euros.
The reconstruction required 78,000 gold leaves for the ceiling and gallery railings, plus 3.6 kilograms of gold for the crystal chandeliers.
