The Palais Minckwitz stands in Dessau's Neustadt, away from the main tourist routes of Dessau-Roßlau. Built in the mid 18th century to the facade pattern imposed by the princely court of Anhalt-Dessau, it is now the oldest fully preserved house in the historic centre. Restored in the early 2000s to the appearance it had gained by 1819, it still serves as a residence and hosts small concerts and readings in its hall.
