Historic Waterfront Palaces and Boat Docks

Many European palaces were built along rivers or lakes to allow private water transport before paved roads became common. Stone dock steps permitted safe boarding regardless of seasonal changes in water levels. Royal barges were painted with distinctive crests and maintained by dedicated boatkeepers.
