The artificial ruin near Pillnitz, also known as the Gothic ruin, is located on a hill above the Friedrichsgrund north of the Dresden district of Pillnitz. It was built in 1785 in the neo-Gothic style on the site of an earlier, lost medieval fortification. As a symbol of the transience of all creation, it serves as a deliberate addition to the baroque Pillnitz Palace, located about 500 metres to the south.
