Schloss & Park Mosigkau

Central Germany


Schloss Mosigkau is a petite rococo palace that’s been called a ‘miniature Sanssouci’. Many of its 17 rooms retain their original furnishings, although the highlight is the Galleriesaal, with paintings by Rubens and van Dyck. In summer, play hide-and-seek in the leafy labyrinth. It's located about 7km southwest of central Dessau. To get here, take bus 16 to Schloss.
