Coswig

A journey through the centuries is evoked by Coswig’s buildings: the Old Church, built in 1497, features stunning frescoes and Saxony’s oldest organ. The Brockwitz Church, which took on its present form in 1737, exudes Baroque flair, whilst the “Villa Teresa”, built in 1873 in the Neo-Renaissance style, now hosts world-class chamber concerts and theatre evenings. The Karrasburg Museum houses the town’s history as a whole.

Connoisseurs will naturally also find plenty to enjoy in the heart of Dresden Elbland: in the charming districts of Neucoswig and Sörnewitz, they will discover first-class vineyards, and in the heart of Coswig, the variety of regional delicacies.

Coswig lies on both the Saxon Wine Trail and the Elbe Cycle Route – the ideal base for active excursions. There’s an insider’s tip in store for hiking enthusiasts: alongside the classic routes, the KARRAS circular trail leads to hidden gems that haven’t yet made it into every guidebook. From the Hoher Stein, the view opens up onto the Spaargebirge – Germany’s smallest low mountain range and a destination in its own right. All this is part of Coswig’s DNA: unwinding and enjoying life, preserving time-honoured traditions – and constantly exploring new things.
