Moritzburg, Saxony

Moritzburg is a municipality in the district of Meissen in Saxony, Germany, between Meissen itself, an early centre of Saxony, and today's capital Dresden.

It is most famous for its Baroque castle, Schloss Moritzburg.

In 1884, a narrow-gauge railway, the Radebeul–Radeburg line, was built connecting the town to the district capital Radebeul and Radeburg.

German artist Käthe Kollwitz lived at the invitation of Prince Ernst Heinrich von Wettin in the Rüdenhof in Moritzburg from 1944 until her death on 22 April 1945.
