P il The view is just breathtaking! When you enter the Grosssedlitz lni ark Gross- tz Palace & P Baroque Garden, you can let your eye wander across the entire estate – wide flights of stairs, numerous trick fountains, exotic plants, more than 60 Baroque sculptures in sandstone and al- most 400 potted plants and bitter orange saplings decorate a sedlitz Baroque magnificent Baroque park estate, majestically nestling between two opposing hills. The Baroque garden is impressive for its collection of bitter orange trees, one of the largest in the Ger- Garden man-speaking region. Once, up to 1,250 orange saplings sur­ vived the winter in the Grosssedlitz orangeries. Today, there are still more than a hundred of the trees with their golden fruit bearing witness to the Saxon culture of orangeries. The rulers & Pillnitz Palace and Park of bygone times gathered exotic plants as a symbol of their power and glamor – an invitation to take a pleasurable stroll. This is where the French and Italian Baroque are uniquely linked. The Baroque garden has fundamentally not changed since 1732, and what we see today is only about a third of what had originally been planned. From mid-May to September, bitter lemon trees adorn the garden – an unparalleled experience of fragrance. Lined up precisely, they highlight the of the garden. During the summer months, guests favor the Upper Orangery as a location for weddings and other celebrations.
