Moritzburg hunting castle

Det var interesse for slottet vi gikk til forrige uke. Vi liker å være der fordi det på den ene siden er innebygd i et vakkert landskap og på den andre siden er det like ved. Hertug Moritz lot bygge en jakthytte på dette stedet i 1542, som August den sterke, kurfyrst av Sachsen, lot M. Pöppelmann gjøre om til et praktfullt barokkpalass fra 1723 og utover. Det ligger i et omfattende dam- og parklandskap.

For eksempel ble slottet valgt som ramme for klassisk eventyret «Tre hasselnøtter til Askepott» og det er for tiden en utstilling om det på slottet.

Vi ble fanget i et kraftig regnskyll som gjorde oss gjennomvåte... men vi klarte en fantastisk, lang tur rundt slottet... etterpå hurtig hjemme.

There was interest in the water castle we walked to last week. We like being there because, on the one hand, it is embedded in a lovely landscape and, on the other hand, it is close by. Duke Moritz had a hunting residence built on this site in 1542, which August the Strong, Elector of Saxony, had M. Pöppelmann convert into a magnificent baroque palace from 1723 onwards. It is located in an extensive pond and park landscape.

For example, the castle was chosen as the setting for the fairy tale “Three Hazelnuts for Cinderella” and there is currently an exhibition about it in the castle.

We didn't time it well and were caught in a heavy downpour, which soaked us... but we managed a wonderful, extensive walk around the castle.

Kjære Oddi, forrige uke det var grøntområde :-))

We had the biggest rain shower of the day and really had to laugh afterwards because we neglected to look at the precipitation radar... lots of sun that day too :-))) There's no reason to be regret, we had plenty Have fun and a wonderful cake at home :-))

AND NOW

for alle snøelskere - for all snow lovers

I love it.

The Advent wreath is ready, the Christmas stars - inside and outside - are set up... it will be wonderful when they shine from the weekend onwards. 

A big hug for all of you.

En glad klem til deg fra Viola.
