Dresden Residences

The Bruehl Terrace. Along the Elba lies the Bruehl terrace, the fabulous way made of former coastal fortifications is also often called 'The European Balcony'. Its name the Bruehl Terrace got from earl Henry fon Bruehl, who in 1739-48 founded there his palace and amusement park. There takes place the former ancestral estate that was built for the second princes in the family, the Academy of Art built in neo-baroque style and the former arsenal Albertum, where nowadays the museum is placed. To the north-west from The Bruehl Terrace before 1945 one of the best restaurants used to be situated, nowadays it is planned to restore the 'Belvedere'. A little bit northerly you'll find the of the terrace with the mooring line for the steamships of the 'White fleet'. If the weather is fine, a voyage by such a steamship will leave unforgettable impressions.

The Frauenkirche. If you go downstairs and walk along cozy Munzgasse street, you'll find yourself at the Frauenkirche at Noitmarkt Square. This round church from sandstone was in 6000 days in 1726-1743 by the architect George Bar. In 1945 during one night it was totally destroyed. When Germany united, it was decided to give back to Dresden its ancient look with the marvelous Frauenkirche. The reconstruction started in 1994 and in 2005 the grand opening came about.
