Pfunds Molkerei is a working dairy shop in Dresden-Neustadt with an interior that rivals the city's grander landmarks. Walls, counters and decorative surfaces are covered in hand-painted Villeroy & Boch tiles, their pastoral scenes, cherubs and floral flourishes turning a cheese-shopping trip into a lesson in exuberant design.
The Pfund dairy business began in 1880, and its ornate shop on Bautzner Straße opened in the 1890s. The Neo-Renaissance tilework helped earn it Guinness World Records recognition as the world's most beautiful dairy shop. Rather than a museum, it remains a place to browse cheeses, dairy products and edible souvenirs amid a remarkable piece of Dresden's commercial history.
The shop is compact and can get crowded, so visit early if you want time to look closely at the tiles. Check current opening hours and photography rules before you go. It's an easy addition to a walk through Neustadt and can be reached on foot from Albertplatz or by tram along Bautzner Straße.
