In the immediate vicinity of Dessau, there is a unique natural attraction - the Wörlitzer Park. A few years ago, it was recognized as a World Heritage Site. This magnificent park was founded in 1773 by the order of Prince Leopold III. The park was originally formed with the aim to use it as an example of gardening and agriculture. For many years it was used for educational purposes. Several interesting architectural sites have survived on its territory.
The most beautiful is the Wörlitz Palace - a luxurious residence, in which Prince Leopold lived with his wife Louise. This palace was the first building in Germany built in neoclassical style. For many years, the beautiful residence has retained some of its stylish interior decoration, including a collection of antique furniture and porcelain products.
Nearby, there is another interesting architectural monument - an old synagogue, whose construction was completed in 1790. It is built in the form of a rotunda. According to official data, the temple of Vesta located in Tivoli, served as a model for the construction of this synagogue. In the first half of the 20th century, the building was partially destroyed. Nevertheless, it continues to look very attractive.
