Pillnitz Palace

Pillnitz Castle consists of a complex of buildings located on the Elbe river on the eastern edge of Dresden, Germany. This image shows the upper palace, built around 1722 upon the orders of Augustus II, Elector of Saxony. The baroque gardens are spectacular when they are in full bloom.
