Brühl's Terrace, Architectural ensemble on river Elbe bank, Dresden, Germany.
The elevated terrace stretches along the northern bank of the Elbe River, providing views of Dresden's historical center and waterfront.
Count Heinrich von Brühl received this former fortification as a gift from Saxon Elector Frederick Augustus II in 1747 to build his palace complex.
The Academy of Fine Arts, Albertinum museum, and Saxon Supreme Court building frame this pedestrian promenade, forming a center of art and education.
Visitors can reach Brühl's Terrace via stairs from Castle Square or take trams 1, 2, 4 to Altmarkt station for convenient access.
The underground vaults beneath the terrace housed the laboratory where Johann Friedrich Böttger created Europe's first hard-paste porcelain in 1708.
