The National Theater Hall and National Concert Hall, or together the National Theater and Concert Hall, are twin performing arts venues at Liberty Square, Taipei, . Completed in 1987, the landmarks stand on the south and north sides of the square with Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall to the east.

 

Taiwan's National Theater and National Concert Hall are two of the first major modern performing arts facilities to be established in Asia. Upon the death of Chiang Kai-shek in 1975, the Kuomintang government authorized the construction of a monument and cultural arts facilities on the grounds of a memorial plaza. The project cost TWD 7.4 billion.

The Kurhaus of Scheveningen, The Hague in the Netherlands is a hotel which has been called the Grand Hotel Amrâth Kurhaus The Hague since October 2014. It is located in the main seaside resort area, near the beach.

 

History

The Kurhaus was built between 1884 and 1885 by the German architects Johann Friedrich Henkenhaf and Friedrich Ebert. It consisted originally of a concert hall and a hotelwith 120 rooms. Having suffered serious damage by fire, it was rebuilt between 1886 and 1887. The ceilings were painted by the Brussels artist Van Hoeck and his large workshop. Several kings and heads of state sojourned in the Kurhaus during its heyday.

 

Until the mid 1960s, the Kurhaus remained a public attraction as a major concert hall, at which many top artists performed. The Rolling Stones performed at the Kurhaus on August 8, 1964, and had to flee the building due to the vast numbers of excited fans outside.

 

Ike & Tina Turner performed at the Kurhaus on February 11, 1971. The show was aired on Dutch television.

 

A large number of celebrities have stayed at the hotel. The guestbook includes members of various royal families such as Crown Prince Harald of Norway, government leaders such as Winston Churchill and Mikhail Gorbachev and celebrities such as Joan Crawford, Audrey Hepburn and Bon Jovi. The first signature is from the then 13-year-old Queen Wilhelmina together with her mother Queen Regent Emma. The Hague author and dandy Louis Couperus was among the frequent visitors.

And in 2024 we stayed in the hotel as well.

Catholic Court Church (Katholische Hofkirche)

The Catholic Court Church (Katholische Hofkirche, since 1980 Kathedrale Sankt Trinitatis) is a Catholic church located in the center of the German city of Dresden. The Hofkirche is the cathedral of the Diocese of Dresden-Meißen.

 

The church was built in Baroque style by Gaetano Chiaveri under Elector August III of Poland between 1739 and 1755.

 

During the bombing of Dresden on February 13, 1945, the church was hit by several bombs. The roof and vaults inside the church collapsed; the outer walls were damaged. After the war, reconstruction began and lasted until 1965.

 

The Court Church has been the episcopal church of the diocese of Dresden-Meißen since 1980, and the cathedral was named Trinitatis Cathedral.

 

On the balustrade surrounding the nave are 78 statues of saints and on the tower are four allegorical figures: Faith, Love, Hope and Justice. All are designed by the Italian sculptor Lorenzo Mattieli. The tower has a height of 85.5 meters. The church contains altar paintings by A.R. Mengs. The pulpit and statues of the Church Fathers are by Permoser. The Silbermann organ dates from 1753.

 

The burial vault contains 49 members of the House of Wettin, including Saxon electors and kings, and is also home to the heart of King Augustus II of Poland, the father of August III of Poland.

 

Residential palace (Residenzschloss)

The residential palace was originally a Romanesque castle from the 13th century. This castle was expanded in the 15th century and was then the residence of the electors and kings of Saxony for many years. In 1701 a major fire destroyed the castle, whereupon a new castle was built in the baroque style.

The castle was largely damaged in World War II, but restored after the war. Today some important art collections from East Germany are on display, including the Grünes Gewölbe, a collection of royal jewelry, jewelry and table decorations.

The courtyard is used for various events.
