The Zwinger Dresden - a photo on Flickriver

            De Zwinger is een goed voorbeeld van de laat-barokke bouwstijl. De Zwinger werd gebouwd in de ruimte tussen de voormalige stadsfortificaties; de naam betekent 'tussen de muren'. Het complex is opgetrokken rond een grote binnenplaats die oorspronkelijk werd gebruikt voor toernooien, parades en feesten. Rond de binnenplaats werden paviljoens en poorten gebouwd. August de Sterke (1670-1733), keurvorst van Saksen en tevens koning van Polen, was de opdrachtgever. Architect Matthäus Daniel Pöppelmann (1662-1736) en beeldhouwer Balthasar Permoser (1651-1732) werkten samen aan de bouw. 

The Zwinger is a good example of the late Baroque architecture. The Zwinger was built in the space between the former city fortifications; the name means 'between the walls'. The complex is built around a large courtyard that was originally used for tournaments, parades and parties. Pavilions and gates were built around the courtyard. August de Sterke (1670-1733), Elector of Saxony and also King of Poland, was the client. Architect Matthäus Daniel Pöppelmann (1662-1736) and sculptor Balthasar Permoser (1651-1732) worked together on the construction
