Dessau-Wörlitz is the Enlightenment laid out on the land: an 18th-century Garden Kingdom composed of English-style parks, fine buildings and gently improved farmland in which beauty, education and useful economy were meant to work as one. Few landscapes anywhere carry that era's ideals so completely, which is why UNESCO added the kingdom to the World Heritage List in 2000.
