Christian Friedrich Schuricht

Christian Friedrich Schuricht (March 5, 1753 - August 2, 1832) was a German architect and painter who designed, among others, the New Palace and the Chinese garden at Pillnitz Castle.

Schuricht was born in Dresden and a pupil of Friedrich August Krubsacius.

He was appointed by Frederick Augustus I of Saxony to become his court architect in 1812.

While the building itself is Neoclassical style, its roof follows the original theme of the other buildings at Pillnitz Castle established by the former court architect Matthäus Daniel Pöppelmann in the 1720s.

[1][2] He is commemorated by street names Schurichstrasse in Dresden and Munich.
