Guided Story
Feel the cool air as it drifts through the lofty arches? These walls have stories of power and influence to tell. Behind you, the New Residence stands, which, along with the Dom, was meant to be a powerhouse north of the Alps. Look up at the Gothic embellishments. These are not just architectural wonders but silent witnesses to Cardinal Albrecht of Brandenburg's grand ambitions. To your left, across the way, is the Moritzburg, another gem in the city's history. The Dom was more than a place of worship; it was a symbol of political strength. Take in the atmosphere – you're standing in a place that has endured through centuries.
