About Dresden Old Town, Frauenkirche & Zwinger Guided Tour:

The Zwinger Palace was constructed in 1709 to serve as a festival venue, an orangery, and a garden. Its lavishly decorated pavilions and galleries, which are adorned with balustrades, statues, and vases, attest to the glory of Augustus the Strong's reign as King of Poland. Immerse yourself in Dresden's history and culture by knowing about the history. Your experienced tour guide will provide interesting anecdotes and historical tales. The carpet bombing raids of February 13–15, 1945, largely destroyed the structure. Parts of the palace were opened to the public in 1951 after reconstruction got underway in 1945 with backing from the Soviet military authorities. The Zwinger had mostly been returned to its pre-war condition by 1963.
