Schloss Albrechtsberg Castle was created over four years, starting in 1850, under the direction of architect Adolf Loze in the style of Prussian classicism. However, there is a style of Roman villas of the Renaissance. The castle owes its birth to Prince Albrecht of Prussia. After all, it was built for him.

The castle is a mixture of Medici villas, Tuscan manors of the Renaissance and Prussian classicism. The park, broken up at the castle since 1930, is in the public domain. The slope of Elba is strengthened by terraces.

The first large platform is a beautiful fountain, which is surrounded by columns. For his decorative decoration he was nicknamed the Roman bath.

The castle itself is simply luxurious. Once on the ground floor, you will see the lobby, which opens onto the front yard. The lobby is made in a simple classic style. The windows of the Garden Hall, which is painted with views of those places that the prince especially liked, look at the terrace.

Just a fabulous sight for you will be the Moorish bath, which was created under the impression of the Alhambra Palace in Grenada.

In the second issue, we described how, thanks to the efforts of soldiers, who were tired and bored of peace and material security, we managed to avoid a war between the two triumviers, after which one of them sailed off to Egypt to hang out, and the second remained in Italy to deal with the pirate separatist Pompey. Octavian zealously used the freshly built ships with a new wunderwaffe, invented by his gunsmiths, Pompey snapped back, using much more experience in tactics at sea, but after some time the Roman troops still managed to land on the enemy island (although they hollowed out a lot of ships in the process) .
