Visit the Saxon princes' treasure chamber and discover over 4,000 masterpieces from the Renaissance to Classicism.

In the west wing of the residential castle, the treasure chamber of the Saxon princes of Wettin, the Grünes Gewölbe (green vault), had suffered the turmoil of the 20th century. Completed in 1733 at the height of the power of Augustus the Strong, it was sheltered during the war, taken by the Soviets and then returned to the GDR. The "historical" part was once housed in the Albertinium. But in 2006, when the renovation was completed, it caused a sensation by finally returning to its original place of origin, the princes' castle. You can now visit this marvel, a dazzling collection of diamonds, jewellery and miniatures, also housing an amber room, ivory and gold objects and more than 4,000 other masterpieces from the Renaissance to Classicism, accumulated by the princes electors of Saxony. All in sumptuous rooms! Visitors flock to admire these unique works of art, for which Auguste le Fort was ready to ruin himself, and which made the fortune of many artists - in particular the Baroque jeweller Johann Melchior Dinglinger.

The Historisches Grünes Gewölbe is located on the ground floor (3,000 works). This is the Baroque collection designed and conceived by Augustus the Strong, in his magnificent historical vaulted room. The objects are displayed freely, without glass protection, which justifies the visit only upon reservation of a time slot.

The Neues Grünes Gewölbe is located on the first floor (1,080 works), restored and reopened since 2004.

Please note: these two collections can be visited with separate tickets.

Der Besuch war wirklich beeindruckend, wir hatten die Karten im Voraus gekauft. Selbst der Teenie, welcher nicht so auf Museum steht, war ganz angetan von den Schätzen. Traurig ist, dass ein Teil der Schätze ja geraubt worden sind, diese werden in einem Film gezeigt.
Die Karten gelten übrigens nur für das historische grüne Gewölbe, für das andere benötigt man eine andere Eintrittskarte. Wartezeit hatten wir keine, das hat das Museum wirklich gut organisiert.

Faszinierendes Museum mit Kunstschätzen aus verschiedenen Bereichen .
Wer möchte ,bekommt einen Guide und kann sich anhand der abgebildeten Nummern, die Geschichte der verschiedenen Gegenstände anhören.
Im vorletzten Raum sind wertvolle Schmuckstücke ausgestellt, man fragt sich wer und wie man bei der Sicherung, da was entwenden kann, eine spektakuläre Geschichte.
In dem Haus gibt es aber noch viel mehr zu sehen, dazu kann ich aber nichts sagen, da wir die anderen Etagen nicht besucht haben.
