Everything on schlossmoritzburg.com, grouped by what you are trying to find out. The short version of most of it: the castle sells its own admission at its own counter, the baroque rooms are on show from late March to the first of November, the building then shuts for about three weeks, and from late November to the end of February it holds the Three Hazelnuts for Cinderella exhibition instead. It sits on an island in a lake fifteen kilometres north of Dresden.
