Schlossanlage Hubertusburg stands in Wermsdorf (Landkreis Nordsachsen), in Saxony, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. Recorded dating: 18th century. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.
The Schlossanlage Hubertusburg stands at Wermsdorf, between Leipzig and Dresden, on grounds that Saxon electors had used for hunting since the early 17th century. The present palace was raised from 1721 under Augustus the Strong and then reshaped in Rococo style by his son Augustus III until 1752, becoming one of the largest baroque complexes in Europe. It owes much of its fame to the 1763 peace treaty signed there, which ended the Seven Years' War. Visitors can see the curved main wing, the chapel, the former royal stables and the vestibule with sculptures by Johann Christian Kirchner.
