Dresden Castle and Hofkirche cathedral illuminated at night on the Elbe river

The night profile of Dresden stands majestic with the castle and Hofkirche cathedral dominating the Elbe riverbank. The Hausmannsturm tower of the castle, with its illuminated clock, rises alongside the Baroque bell tower of the Hofkirche, the largest church in Saxony. The golden lights are reflected in the dark waters of the river, while the Augustus Bridge connects the old town to the new town. This view from the opposite bank of the Elbe offers one of the most evocative perspectives of the historic center, revealing Dresden architectural stratification from Renaissance to Baroque.
