That's perfect for #FootpathFriday! Here's a #footpath leading to #Mosigkau Palace, captured in April last year.

It's cold and grey outside today and I can't wait for colourful flowers to return! In the meantime, here's a September memory of #SchlossMosigkau for #FlowerFriday, just in case you've forgotten what #flowers look like.

#CemeterySunday at #Mosigkau Palace. The rococo palace was built from 1752 as a summer residence for Princess Anna Wilhelmine, the favourite daughter of Duke Leopold I of Anhalt-Dessau. The princess never married and was a clever and thrifty businesswoman, so by the end of her life, she was one of the wealthiest women in the Principality of Anhalt. After her death in 1780, the palace was converted into a Frauenstift – a secular "monastery" for noble, unmarried women (such as the princess herself), where they could live in peace. The Stift existed until 1945 and was home to 48 canonesses and 8 abbesses.

This small #cemetery is the final resting place of many of these women. It is usually closed to the public (hence this photo taken through the gate), but it may be accessible as part of a guided tour.

Zum #Martinstag besuchten wir heute die Freie Waldorfschule in #Mosigkau, da wir eine der Lehrkräfte persönlich kennen. Dort fand am Nachmittag zuerst ein Flohmarkt statt, bevor der Laternenumzug durch den Ort zum Schloss Mosigkau ging, wo mit Saxophon und Akkordeon musiziert wurde. Das Schloss gehört zu den letzten noch ganz erhaltenen #Rokoko-Ensembles Mitteldeutschlands. Sein Park ist Teil des UNESCO-Welterbe Gartenreich Dessau-Wörlitz. Eine tolle Kulisse für ein Lichterfest im Dunkeln. 🏰
