Description

Schloss Wackerbarth, originally Wackerbarths Ruh’, is a Baroque palace surrounded by vineyards in the Niederlößnitz district of Radebeul, on the road to Meissen, which serves as the seat of the Saxon State Winery. The winery belongs to the single vineyard site Radebeuler Johannisberg within the collective site Lößnitz and lies in the heritage conservation area Historische Weinberglandschaft Radebeul. The historic grounds of the palace form a spur of the Lößnitz protected landscape area lying above them.

From its creation as the retirement country seat of the Field Marshal General and Imperial Count August Christoph von Wackerbarth until the founding of Niederlößnitz in 1839, the estate was a manorial property on the Naundorf vineyard land, directly subordinate to the Amt Dresden.

The Saxon State Winery Schloss Wackerbarth, consisting of the historic complex and the modern new building of the wine and sparkling wine manufactory, is open to the public for visits. The house's own products are tasted and sold, and the associated transparent production can be visited. On the open areas around the buildings, sample vines of the grape varieties cultivated can also be viewed in their seasonal growth. The estate's own restaurant is housed in the eastern, heritage-protected service building. The Belvedere, situated higher up, also serves as a venue for weddings. Schloss Wackerbarth, as Saxon cultural heritage, is a member of the marketing association Schlösserland Sachsen; the GmbH is a subsidiary of the Sächsische Aufbaubank.
