Augustusburg

Travel Guide

#BVSBlue A UNESCO world heritage site in Bruhl. Set in an idyllic garden landscape, begun by architect Johann Conrad Schlaun, and finished by François de Cuvilliés, Augustusburg Castle, the sumptuous residence of the prince-archbishops of Cologne is one of the earliest and best examples of 18-century Rococo architecture in Germany, and directly linked to the great European architecture and art of unprecedented richness of the time. In 1725, Clemens August of Bavaria (1700-1761), Prince-Elector and archbishop of Cologne, planned and constructed this large residence at Brühl on the foundations of a medieval castle. It consists of three wings built of brick with rough-cast rendering and has two adjoining orangeries, one on the south side which includes an oratory, while the other to the north houses various service buildings. The Castle of Augustusburg, a bold and successful revamping of the lack-lustre construction of Schlaun and the hunting lodge of Falkenlust, a dazzling creation, ex nihilio, are one of the best examples of the Rococo style, this international art of unprecedented richness.

9.4/10 Exceptional! (39 reviews)
Alles war sauber und ordentlich. Allerdings ist der moderne Fernseher an einen völlig veralteten Satellitenreceiver angeschlosssen, so dass nur einige wenige Trash-TV-Sender, die noch in PAL senden, empfangbar waren. Also kein Olympia im Fernsehen. WLAN wäre sicher auch nicht schlecht.
