Description
The Burgberg in Meissen is a more powerful symbol of the state's medieval origins than any other place in Saxony. It was here that, after 1471, the Wettin Electors and Dukes of Saxony built the Albrechtsburg, the first modern residential palace in Germany. With it they created a masterly building whose bold architectural solutions and design ideas continue to impress us up to the present day. In 1710, the famous Meissen porcelain manufactory found a home in the Albrechtsburg, which was empty at the time. After 1864 the castle was converted into a monument to Saxon history. The guide to the castle offers an extensive overview of the castle's eventful history and explains the whole building in detail – both the outstanding architecture and the unique 19th-century murals.
