Japanisches Palais (Japanese Palace)
Palaisplatz, Neustadt
Dresden, September 2024
“The Japanisches Palais (Japanese Palace) is a Baroque building in Dresden, Saxony, Germany. It is located on the Neustadt bank of the river Elbe. Built in 1715, it was extended from 1729 until 1731 to house the Japanese porcelain collection of King Augustus the Strong that is now part of the Dresden Porcelain Collection. After that, more Japanese crafts collections were put in it. However, it was never used for this purpose, and instead served as the Saxon Library. The palace is a work of architects Pöppelmann, Longuelune and de Bodt.” (Japanisches Palais, Wikipedia)
