| The Crown Tower. |
Photos of the Zwinger. I wandered through the gardens of this palace built by Augustus the Strong in 1710-1732. The day was comfortable, hot but with some cloud cover thank goodness. The many tourist coaches had arrived, and at times I felt I was in Bath surrounded by people amazed at our historical buildings, just as I am amazed by theres. One wing of the palace is still being restored and was clothed in scaffolding, but it's going to be lovely when finished and reminds me of the "Sansoucie" Palace I saw last year in Potsdam, built in the same style in 1745 as a summer palace for Frederick the Great. I refer you to Wikipedia for all the history, there is too much for me to write.
