概要

クイックファクト: The Zwinger's sweeping Baroque galleries house over a million porcelain pieces, forming one of the largest porcelain collections on earth. Its massive courtyard once hosted lavish court festivals with hundreds of lanterns, orchestral performances, and even mechanical fountains that sprayed wine.

見どころ: Stand in the crown gate passage and clap your hands once: the arch's perfect acoustics send the sound bouncing back as a crisp, sharp echo that feels almost supernatural. This was intentionally designed by architect Matthäus Daniel Pöppelmann to amplify royal proclamations and music during festivities in the courtyard.
