Schloss Albrechtsburg Room

A grand room in the Schloss Albrechtsburg at Meissen - completely 'restored' in the 19th century with very gaudy murals & details in the medieval style. In Böttger's day, it was a plain, empty shell, perfect for the establishment of the King's porcelain factory. Meissen porcelain was made, fired, and painted in these very rooms for a good part of its history before moving to a more appropriate factory on the outskirts of the town.
