Germany · 18th century
Seußlitz Baroque Palace is a Baroque three-wing complex in Diesbar-Seußlitz, a district of the municipality of Nünchritz in the Meißen district (Saxony). Construction began in 1722 for the Saxon electoral chancellor Heinrich von Bünau, incorporating the fabric of the Poor Clares' convent founded in 1268; the design was by the Dresden council master builder George Bähr, whose involvement in the palace church is documented archivally by a 1724 report. The palace, the palace church, the Baroque terraced garden, the Heinrichsburg garden house, the Luisenburg vineyard pavilion and the later landscape park together form a largely intact and cohesive palace and garden ensemble of the Saxon Elbe valley. The complex is a listed historic monument; the park is open to the public.
