The red Elbe gondola (Triton gondola) of Elector Friedrich August III. of Saxony. It was built together with a “green sister” according to designs by Christian Friedrich Schuricht around 1800 by the Hamburg ship carpenter Johann Christoph Pätzold. The gondolas were used for courtly traffic between Pillnitz and the residence in Dresden. Severe weathering damage forced it to be restored in 1954, with parts of both boats being used to create a gondola based on the historical model. This is now exhibited in the park under a protective structure that adopts chinoising forms.

You feel transported back to the time of August the Strong.
With this gondola he could travel from Dresden to Pillnitz to have fun with his mistresses.
