A city rebuilt in its own stone.

Sandstone, the Elbe, and the skyline Bellotto painted from the far bank. Start on the terrace; everything is a short walk from it.

About this site

Pale when cut, black after a century.

Elbe sandstone darkens as it weathers, which is why the rebuilt Frauenkirche is speckled: stones recovered from the ruin were built in among the new. This site is built the same way, from what we can show you is true.
