There are many great places in Germany that are not just beautiful but of great historical significance. The city of Potsdam is the location of a very wonderful sight to see known as the Alexandrowka Russian Colony. This very lovely colony is made up of many lovely buildings made of wood and are made for Russian musicians. The Russian Czar Alexander was the man who had the buildings constructed in order to keep Russian singers, and while they were in the building the serene surroundings were supposed to inspire them.
The buildings are now a museum and a very popular site for tourists from all around the world. There is even in the same area a Russian chapel. This is definitely a great place to go when visiting Germany on vacation where you can get a bit or Russia while visiting Germany on your next trip to the splendid country.
