In 1723 Pöppelmann was summoned to Moritzburg to rebuild the Renaissance mansion there in the Baroque style. The original castle, built from 1542–1546, was a hunting lodge for Moritz of Saxony, then Duke of Saxony. The external walls were torn down, and the monumental early Baroque chapel, built by Wolf Caspar von Klengel (1630-1691) between 1661-71, was balanced by a ceremonial hall. The round towers were enlarged.
