Things to Do  

Castle garden, English garden

Castle garden, English garden, Pillnitz

 bugulma Says:  There is English style garden as well. It’s the most interesting part for me because, nevertheless it isn't large, I felt here hid from the world. Besides I saw here birds and my friend of Pillnitz, you may see it in my travelogue.

Chinese pavilion

Chinese pavilion, Pillnitz

 bugulma Says:  To the right from the castle there is pond and a Chinese pavilion. Well, the style looks very European and only roof has a special Asian spirit. When I was there it was possible to get only one side of the pond.

 bugulma Says:  This picture the guest could see when they came to the castle by river boats. Bright colorful style in Chinese met them. I think all guests of the king were struck. 

Front staircase

Front staircase, Pillnitz

 bugulma Says:  The front staircase is situated just near of the river. The thought of the king was that his guests came in the boats and then, went ashore, they went into the castle right away. Nice idea I think, if I have the castle on the river bank I’ll build the same :-) 

Castle
