Schlösser Brühl - UNESCO World Heritage Site
Unique. Surprising. Rocolicious! Brühl Palaces have been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1984, making them one of the most important human creations. The site includes the imposing Augustusburg Palace, the intimate Hunting Lodge Falkenlust and the ideal-typical French-style palace garden.
Unique
The World Heritage Site is considered the first important Rococo creation in Germany and an outstanding example of a large 18th century princely residence.
Surprising
Built for the Cologne Elector and Archbishop Clemens August (1700-1761), member of the House of Wittelsbach, the residence still surprises today and takes you back to an age of courtly splendour full of glitz
and glamour.
Rocolicious
With the earliest rocaille in Germany – the ornament that gave the rococo style its name – Augustusburg Palace marks the birth of rococo in this country. Even more, the diversity and unmistakable expression of an
entire era can be seen here.
We are looking forward to see you!
