Postcard
Duke Maurice of Saxony had a hunting lodge built in the Renaissance style in 1542 on a granite dome in Friedewald Forest that was rich in wildlife. Soon the castle, which later was named after him, was the center of Saxon hunting.

In 1723, major works began to convert it from a Renaissance building into a Baroque hunting and pleasure palace. The best Saxon craftsmen and artists collaborated in the providing the interior in the seven halls and more than 200 rooms.
