Japanese palace

The Japanese Palace is a majestic palace created in the Baroque architectural style, which currently houses the Museum of Primitive History, the Senkenberg Collection on Natural History and the Dresden Museum of National Studies.

The Japanese Palace is located in the central part of Dresden. The palace building on this site appeared in 1715. Large-scale restoration work in the palace was carried out from 1727 to 1733. The palace got its name because of the inclined roof in the oriental style, as well as figures in the courtyard and on the outer facade of the palace. The building was badly damaged during the Seven Years War. After the restoration of the palace, it housed the Saxon State Library, a museum, and large sculptural collections. During World War II, the palace was severely damaged again. The beautiful park around the building was also destroyed. Restoration work was carried out from 1951 to 1987, the palace park was also restored.

The Japanese Palace is a magnificent monument of history and architecture, protected by the state.
