Schwind Pavilion
The Schwind pavilion was built in 1829 in the Rüdigsdorf manor on behalf of its owner Wilhelm Crusius . The orangery of the English-style park was officially expanded on August 25, 1839 in the right wing with the inauguration of the music pavilion.
Crusius received various ideas for the design of the park, including a semicircular bench and a fountain, as well as the drafts for the frescoes "from the life of the psyche" from the Dresden architect and painter Woldemar Hermann . In 1839 Gottfried Semper was asked to put the "final touch" on Hermann's decoration design.
The garden salon got its name from the interior painting by the late romantic painter and draftsman Moritz von Schwind . From his hand and under his direction, the walls and ceiling of the pleasure house received the motif of the ancient fairy tale Amor and Psyche requested by the client . The salon is an early work of Schwind's artistic creativity. The ceiling fresco creates the impression of a vaulted and higher ceiling through skilful perspective painting.
Renovated true to the original, the pavilion is now used several times a year as a concert venue and is a popular location for wedding ceremonies.
