About this audio guide
This guide to Albrechtsberg Palace in Dresden goes beneath the terraces, to the eighteen-fifties and a crew of Saxon miners hired for a building job far from any mine. It follows Prince Albrecht of Prussia, the scandal of his second marriage to Rosalie von Rauch, and why that sent him to build on a steep slope above the Elbe. Best heard at the foot of the terraces, looking up at the twin towers.
