It is located in the pheasantry, laid out in 1728, in the palace park of Moritzburg and is named after the pheasant breeding carried out there. The small palace stands on the Niederer Großteich Bärnsdorf; in its immediate surroundings are ponds and forests, gardens and the Moritzburg lighthouse, also built in the 18th century. The building is visually connected by a sightline with Moritzburg Palace, situated 1.9 kilometres away to the west.
