Hoflößnitz
The Hoflößnitz is the municipal winery in Radebeul (district Oberlößnitz) on the Saxon Wine Route. In the electoral and royal Saxon period, the estate was a country seat of the Saxon line of the Wettins for almost 500 years and the center of courtly Saxon vineyard ownership. Today it has been developed into the Saxon Winegrowing Museum Hoflößnitz with a sales outlet and its own wine dispensing. The winery belongs to the Lößnitz large vineyard site, single site Goldener Wagen. The Hoflößnitz with Mountain and Pleasure House, press house, cavalier house and wine press is listed as a heritage ensemble (Ensembleschutz) under heritage protection. In addition, the open and green space around the Hoflößnitz is considered a work of landscape and garden design within the heritage protection area Historic Vineyard Landscape Radebeul. The Hoflößnitz also includes the vintner's house located below and to the right of the ascent or the gate system with attached bakehouse as well as the former wood yard to the left toward the property, also with a vintner's house. The main house of the winery complex is described in detail in Berg- und Lusthaus Hoflößnitz. The 80 bird oil paintings from the Dutch painter Albert Eckhout on the ceiling of the banquet hall there are listed in the List of Bird Paintings by Albert Eckhout in the Hoflößnitz. The Hoflößnitz is a “unique testimony to viticulture in the Elbe Valley and courtly culture and lifestyle in Saxony, especially in the 17th and 18th centuries, [the] pleasure house with remarkable furnishings, especially the Baroque paintings, [the] complex overall of incomparable urban, art-historical, cultural-historical and landscape-designing effect”.
