The castle serves as an exclusive wedding location in Dresden for a wedding with international flair. This location is particularly suitable for intercultural weddings. Albrechtsberg Palace sits enthroned high above the Elbe in the middle of extensive parkland and is considered one of the most magnificent palaces in Dresden. It was built in the late classicist style between 1851 and 1854 according to plans by the royal Prussian architect Adolf Lohse and was a romantic gift from Prince Albrecht to his second wife Rosalie. Today, the magnificent, lavishly restored halls and spacious sun terraces shine in their former glory. This unique ambience – combined with the loving history of the occasion – makes the castle a charming backdrop for premium wedding ceremonies and weddings.
