Grand Duchess Alexandra Nikolayevna

[Dru]

Thanks, Eric.  You wouldn't happen to know where they spent spring, autumn, and winter, would you?

[Eric_Lowe]

I know since Peterhof was built as a Summer Palace, where the fountains opened (a spectacular site to behold). The Winter Palace was built for Winter time. All the other Palaces were used by different dynasties during different times.

[Dru]

Thanks again; much obliged.

[Eric_Lowe]

You are welcome.

Did Alexandra get to stay in any of the palaces in Hesse? I know that the Schloss Fasenerie in Fulda have her things, but did she stayed there ?

Her things in that Schloss are the things from her dowry which got her widowed husband.

[Eric_Lowe]

But she never stayed at the Schloss right ?

[Dru]

I don't think so.  As far as I know, she was never well enough to leave Russia after her marriage.

[Svetabel]

But she never stayed at the Schloss right ?

Right.

[Eric_Lowe]

Poor thing. I read somewhere that her health has never been good.

[Dru]

Olga of Wurttemberg wrote in her memoirs that she and Alexandra were sick a lot when they were children; maybe that's what you're thinking of?

[Eric_Lowe]

Yes. She did look a bit delicate even in her portraits.

In English it's called The Golden Dream of My Youth.  If you read Russian, Violetta posted a link to it earlier in this thread.
