The Wörlitz Landscape Park is the first and largest part of the Dessau-Wörlitz Garden Kingdom. It is the prelude and the artistic climax of a unique program of beautification of the country and improvement of life that Prince Franz wanted to achieve in his principality. He is thus considered the epitome of the Enlightenment in Germany.
But the charming castles outside the park are also worth a visit. For example, the baroque garden of Oranienbaum Castle impresses with lush splendor, especially in summer. The English-Chinese section of the garden, the only one of its kind preserved in Germany, is adorned by a five-story pagoda, the Chinese House, and several arched bridges.
