Relive the Heyday of the Late Baroque Period

After you pass through the baroque court of honour with the generously-proportioned outdoor terrace, the Grand Café and Restaurant Coselpalais welcomes you in its impressive vestibule. The four salons are located in the famed cavalier wings of the Coselpalais, which date back to 1765.

 

The masterful Porcelain Salon gives you an insight into the art of “White Gold”, otherwise known as Meissen Porcelain. The angels with the rose hips which can be admired on the baroque ceiling fresco apparently were intended to protect each and every guest. The Mirror Salon gives you an idea of how cunningly Augustus the Strong’s architects created the illusion of grandeur and glory using mirrors.

 

 


Precious porcelain figurines of domestic and exotic birds, produced in Dresden’s Saxon Porcelain Manufactory, give the Bird Salon its unique atmosphere. 

 

Countess of the Empire Anna Constantia von Cosel welcomes you in 18th Century style.
