Princess Ursula Katharina of Württemberg, also known as Princess of Teschen, a former mistress of Augustus the Strong, had a garden palace built in her stately garden in Dresden-Friedrichstadt in 1727-28. In 1736, Heinrich von Brühl bought the garden and the palace, which he had rebuilt and extended with side wings according to plans by Johann Christoph Knöffel. In 1763, the Order Festival of the Polish Order of the White Eagle was celebrated in the Brühl Garden.
After Brühl's death, his heirs sold the estate to Count Camillo Marcolini (1739-1814), who had the baroque palace rebuilt again. Since 1849, the Marcoloni Palace has been used as a hospital.
The ballroom of the Marcolini Palace is the only surviving baroque hall of the Brühl era in Dresden. The illusionistic wall painting of the room is attributed to the Italian painter Stefano Torelli.
Today: site of the Dresden Municipal Hospital in Friedrichstadt.
Visits to the exterior are possible, including the gardens with the Neptune fountain. Occasionally concerts are held in the festival hall. The Chinese Room and the Pompeian Room can only be visited on guided tours.
