Description

Schloss Wörlitz in Oranienbaum-Wörlitz in Saxony-Anhalt is considered the founding building of German Neoclassicism and is one of the few German buildings of Palladianism. It was commissioned by Leopold III Friedrich Franz of Anhalt-Dessau and built by Friedrich Wilhelm von Erdmannsdorff by 1773. The palace, located in the district of Wörlitz, is, like the associated Wörlitzer Park, part of the UNESCO World Heritage.
