Pauline of Waldeck-Pyrmont and Bentheim Castle

Friday, 28 October 2016, 7:00 Moniek Bloks 0

Faded Glory: Maria Kunigunde of Saxony and The Electoral Palace in Koblenz, Germany

Friday, 10 June 2016, 7:00 Moniek Bloks 0
On a gloomy day I visited the faded glory of the Electoral Palace in Koblenz. Most of it is not open to the public, as it houses government offices, but you can walk through the front entrance to the back gardens. As it was a Saturday, it was completely deserted, save a bride and groom [read more]
