The Glockenspielpavillion, Zwinger Palace, Dresden, Sachsen (Saxony), Germany.
The Glockenspielpavillion has a carillon of 40 Meissen porcelain bells and the clock chimes on the hour. The palace, a masterpiece in Baroque style, was built for Augustus the Strong by Matthaeus Daniel Pöppelmann, between 1710 and 1732. It was badly damaged during the war in 1945, and in addition, the soft sandstone is also being damaged by modern pollution.
