2 chapels & a special throne of the king of Saxony - Weesenstein

Weesenstein is a lovely palace 20 km south of Dresden.
In Decemer 2004 I made an excursion there with Ingo (german eagle) as our tour-guide and Andrej (bugulma) ....

....we saw a strange "Local custom" there, and because Andrej would NEVER mention such a "local custom" on his pages, he asked me to do so here on my page...

I got a chuckle from your 'Local Custom' tip! A very enjoyable page with interesting information on the King's flexibility regarding religion and the brew-pub sounds good too. Wow, Elbsandgebirge is spectacular!

An other one of the many baroque treasures in Saxony. I see that I have to visit your pages more frequently.

What a pretty castle with all those different colours. And it looks very interesting on the inside too
