Much still needs to be done

directly at the gate to Köthen Castle

The large winter quarters for the sensitive plants.

The gardeners are trying very hard, but unfortunately they don't have the money for the buildings.

Beautiful park. There is a café in the castle.

pleasure garden Entrance to the castle between the west and east wings of the orangery Garden axis The garden borders the gallery hall to the south. There are hedge areas with a bowling alley, a fish pond and a maze. The attraction of the rococo garden is the orangery at the rear exit, two flanking buildings with rare and partly century-old potted plants that line the main path to the castle in the summer months. The statues of Mars, Diana, Flora and a nymph were moved from the park of the Wust mansion to the park of Mosigkau Castle in 1951. Story After the death of the lady of the castle in 1780, a monastery for noble unmarried women was set up in the castle in accordance with her decree, which existed until 1945. Thereafter, no further changes were made to the building, the furnishings and the living quarters, which were permanently inhabited by the canonesses, meaning that the ensemble was preserved in its original state. The ladies had repeatedly refused to sell the Mosigkau pictures to the government in Dessau, and so the culturally and historically significant collection was preserved in its original context. Walther Pflug worked on the rescue and restoration of Mosigkau Castle from the summer of 1945. He was appointed curator of the castle by the President of the State of Saxony-Anhalt in 1947 and was the first director of the Mosigkau Castle from 1951 to 1954. From 1951 the castle became a museum for Rococo living culture. Source https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schloss_Mosigkau

Interior and gallery hall Large ballroom 1966 17 rooms can be viewed, some of them in their original condition. In the vestibule of the Corps de Logis there is a two-armed staircase, here is the tapestry The Triumph of the Church over Idolatry, made in a Brussels workshop around 1630 based on a design by Peter Paul Rubens, and originally from the city palace in Dessau. The middle of the garden side is occupied by the picture gallery, from which five large glass doors lead into the garden. It is decorated with stucco and equipped with Venetian crystal crowns. In recessed wall areas, it houses paintings, some of which have been adapted by trimming or fragmentation, in the original Baroque hanging of the period in which they were created, predominantly by Flemish and Dutch masters of the 17th century from the “Oranian Heritage”. The wall panels are framed by pilasters made of green stucco marble.[1] The works include Zephyr and Flora by Peter Paul Rubens, The Princes of Orange by Anton van Dyck and pictures by Jan Brueghel the Elder. Ä., Jacob Jordaens, Hendrick Goltzius and Gerard van Honthorst. The pictures come from the collection of Amalie zu Solms-Braunfels (1602–1675), wife of the governor of the Netherlands Friedrich Heinrich von Orange and mother of Henriette Catharina von Nassau-Oranien, who brought the inheritance to Dessau and left it to her son Leopold I . Other parts of the collection went to the Dessau Residence Palace, the Oranienbaum Palace and the Gothic House in Wörlitz. The castle also contains an extensive collection of portraits of Anhaltinian princes, including many by Georg Lisiewski and Antoine Pesne. On either side of the gallery there are two cabinets in Frederick's rococo style, with silver tendrils on a blue and yellow background, marble fireplaces, inset pictures and supraportes, Chinese wallpaper and inlaid furniture.

Architecture and history of origin Christoph Friedrich Reinhold Lisiewsky, Princess Anna Wilhelmine (1715–1780) By donating two estates in 1742/43 and a considerable allowance, Prince Leopold I of Anhalt-Dessau enabled his unmarried favorite daughter, Princess Anna Wilhelmine, from her relationship with the Dessau pharmacist's daughter Anneliese Föhse, to build the palace and gardens. The first drafts probably come from the Sanssouci architect Georg Wenzeslaus von Knobelsdorff. The actual builder was the Dessau court architect Christian Friedrich Damm, whom Anna Wilhelmine commissioned to build the summer residence in 1752. Corps de logis, cavalier houses and commercial buildings are located around the courtyard. Source https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schloss_Mosigkau
