It is located on the bank of the River Elbe in the former village of Pillnitz. Pöppelmann designed the "Wasserpalais," an extended elevation along the banks of the Elbe, with curved roofs in the fashionable "chinoiserie' style. Four years later he constructed its counterpart, the "Bergpalais." The two elevations thus framed a courtyard area where a pleasure garden was installed. The picture shows the Bergpalais with the Baroque garden. ## Related artworks - [Aerial view]() - [Exterior view]() - [Exterior view]() - [Exterior view]() - [Exterior view]() - [Exterior view]() - [Exterior view]() - [Exterior view]() - [Exterior view]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
