Karl August Lingner, who resided here, was a major benefactor who established the Dresden Hygiene Museum.
The castle is part of a trio of neighboring estates known as the 'Elbschlösser', which includes Schloss Eckberg and Schloss Albrechtsberg.
The design was influenced by the Tuscan villa architecture favored by Prince Albrecht.
Despite its proximity to the city center, the estate escaped significant destruction during the 1945 bombing of Dresden.
The terrace garden houses a prominent fountain which was part of Lingner's original estate improvements.
Lingnerschloss is one of the three historic Elbe Castles situated on the hillside of the Loschwitz district in Dresden. It was commissioned by Prince Albrecht of Prussia and built between 1850 and 1853 in a late-classicist style. The property is named after its former owner, Karl August Lingner, the inventor of Odol mouthwash, who bequeathed the estate to the city of Dresden upon his death in 1916. The building serves as a venue for events, concerts, and exhibitions rather than a traditional museum. Its architectural profile is defined by its extensive terraces that provide elevated views over the Elbe River valley. The estate is currently managed by a non-profit foundation dedicated to the preservation and restoration of the site. Visitors can access the grounds and certain interior areas depending on current event schedules.
