Visit to Iceland

CHAPTER XI
17/98

The garden is not very extensive, but large enough for the town, and is open to the public.

The palace is built in a splendid style, but is unfortunately quite useless, as the court has beautiful summer-palaces in the neighbourhood of Potsdam, and spends the winter in Berlin.
The castle square is not very good; it is neither large nor regular, and not even level.

On it stands the large church, which is not yet completed, but promises to be a fine structure.

The town is tolerably large, and has many fine houses.

The streets, especially the Nauner Street, are wide and long, but badly paved; the stones are laid with the pointed side upwards, and for foot-passengers there is a stone pavement two feet broad on one side of the street only.
