    The two-storey building was built in 1727 according to plans by Johann Michael Hoppenhaupt in the Baroque style by order of Duke Moritz Wilhelm von Sachsen-Merseburg and was intended to serve as a ballroom for garden parties. The building was completed between 1731 and 1735. The facade of the palace garden salon, which was built on a rectangular ground plan, has 13 axes and is oriented to the south towards the palace garden. Three axes each on the east and west sides protrude from the building as side projections. (Wikipedia)

    Hiking

    After the establishment of the ducal line of Saxony-Merseburg through the so-called Wettin division of inheritance in 1656, the castle garden was transformed from a vegetable garden into a pleasure park. Bounded to the south by the imposing palace complex, Duke Moritz Wilhelm (1688 - 1731) had a two-storey theater hall flanked by two orangeries built. Johann Michael Hoppenhaupt (1685 - 1751) was commissioned as master builder, who left important testimonies in Merseburg as a sculptor to the Princely Saxon court and master builder to the Princely Saxon court.
