During the period between 1803 -1811 Lord Findlater bought the vineyards along the river Elbe from the Saloppe to the Mordgrund. He built a country house on this property which was to be the site on which Castle Albrechtsberg would stand. Unfortunately he died in 1811 the year that the country house/palace was completed. In 1821 the palace developed into one of the most popular day trip restaurants of Dresden under management of its new owner Johann Gabriel Krebs.
Prince Albrecht of Prussia, with his second wife Countess of Hohenau was forced to look for a new domicile outside Prussia due to her low status. According to records the Baroness of Stockhausen purchased the area “Findlater’s Vineyard” (castle and territory) on behalf of the Prince in 1850 for 16,000 thalers.
The Prussian garden architect Eduard Neide drew up the plans for the castle grounds and the court gardener Herrmann Sigismund Neumann carried them out.
After the death of Prince Albrecht in 1872, their youngest son Frederick remained at the castle until his death in 1914. His brother subsequently took up residency in the castle. In 1925 he sold the castle and estate to the city of Dresden due to his gambling debts.
During World War II, in 1937 the park as well as stables and indoor riding arena were used by an SA cavalry division. With the castle unaffected by the air raids, they were occupied by front-line soldiers of the Red Army. This resulted in looting and destruction. For a short time Castle Albrechtsberg became the headquarters of the Soviet Military Administration.
In 1948 the castle was sold to the foreign trade ministry of the USSR. After extensive renovation works carried out by the architect Köckritz the castle was opened as “Intourist” hotel in December of the same year. In 1951 the castle was repurchased by the Jugendheim GmbH Berlin. Since 1952 the city of Dresden has been the owner again. The gradual restoration has been continued up to the present day.
Castle Albrechtsberg is part of the world heritage asset “Dresden Elbe Valley“.
