Dresden + Moritzburg Castle

The magnificent Moritzburg Castle, reflected in the mirror of the water surface of the blue lake, cannot but cause admiration. This cozy love nest, surrounded on all sides by water, causes a feeling of solitude and detachment from the rest of the world. In the luxurious rooms, decorated with paintings and sculptures, once led the ruler of Saxony August the Strong his favorites (of which there were innumerable). And every lady of his cordial hostel, August was able to surprise with courtesy, gallantry and in general breadth of scope. For each he arranged a chic, costumed reception with the participation of a large number of courtiers. The abundance of foreign dishes and expensive wines should have increased the feeling of celebration. The variety of entertainment events plunged into a state of trembling delight. Lunch in the ancient style was replaced by a hunt for a noble deer, and she, in turn, switched to boating to the accompaniment of the famous Italian tenor, followed by watching the oriental dances of semi-naked “concubines” in a tent on the island, and the apogee of the evening, of course, the ball. Oh, how!

But, something I was fascinated by describing the joys of the life of the Great Augustus. It is better than reading several times, yet once to see the abode of affairs of the cordial Saxon Elector.

But, of course, Moritzburg was not alone in carrying out this piquant mission. Dresden could not be better suited for the self-expression of this bravura ruler. In fact, it was no longer about privacy. There, if I give you a lot. If the palace is huge. If the holiday is a few days.

And I propose, from personal experience, that we evaluate these two different places, created for the same purpose.
