The Residence of the Margrave of Brandenburg-Ansbach at Ansbach

The Margrave of Ansbach, who became Elizabeth Craven's second husband, owned some palatial residences, far too palatial for him to live in them most of the time. He preferred to live more modestly.

In the years before his abdication he used a former hunting lodge, The Red Castle, as his home.

The palace at Ansbach, the capital of his little principality, survives and is well-preserved. It is now in Bavaria. This video gives a visual tour of its interiors, showing the fine collection of pictures and artworks. Can you spot the portrait of Elizabeth Craven that flashes into view for just a second or so?
