Hrabina Cosel plot

“The Countess Cosel” is based on the true story of the beautiful Anna Constantia von Brockdorff, a German noblewoman who in 1704 became the mistress of Augustus the Strong, King of Poland and Elector of Saxony. Against the backdrop of life at the court of Augustus, the film follows the arrival in Dresden of 24-year-old Anna Constantia von Brockdorff, an extraordinarily beautiful and scrupulously religious young married woman. Covered are her romance with the king and her "ten-year reign" as his mistress - a role she agrees to, believing she has won the king's love and devotion; and finally her heartbreak, disillusionment, and struggle against him.

Eat your heart out, Sofia Coppola!

Now this is what a costume and king drama should look like. Wow! And it's not just the dresses and atmosphere that are enchanting. What a beauty actress Jadwiga Barańska is. The Saxon princess and mistress of the Polish king could have walked straight out of one of Modigliani's paintings.

Apart from political developments such as the invasion of the Swedish King Charles Ultimately, she is banished from the court and will spend the rest of her life in Schloss Stolpen where she will also die. Even after the death of Augustus the Strong, she chose this lifelong house arrest. Oh melancholy!

The tower in which the countess stayed for 49 years can be viewed in Schloss Stolpen near Dresden near the Polish border. I've been here a few years ago and it's really worth it. The rest of the castle has suffered some damage, including as a result of Napoleon's troops.
