 Take
a moment to admire the carvings on the Elisabeth Gate, which was built in 1615
as a present from Elector Frederic V to his wife Elisabeth Stuart, the daughter
of King James I of England.
According to legend, the triumphal arch was built in sections, erected
overnight, and presented to Elisabeth the next morning as a surprise birthday
gift.
