Tips

The exterior of the baroque palace was completed between 1754 and 1760. It was not fully completed until 1815 to 1818, two years after the death of its builder, Prince-Bishop Clemens August. In the western part of the castle is the Catholic baroque church with the famous ceiling fresco by Joseph Gregori Winck. For many years the district court was housed in the east wing. For over thirty years, the palace has been the home and workplace of the internationally known painter and graphic artist Prof. Gerd Winner.
Due to the death of the elector and prince-bishop Clemens August, the palace gardens were not completed. In addition to the baroque garden design, the sculptures that belong to a baroque palace are missing. The sculptures, the three-disc cross, the sun arrow and the sky disc are in this tradition. However, their reference to time does not lie in the historical decoration, but is linked to today's time and the world of work. They are also not allowed to have a base, but have their basis in nature. The sculptures are connected via the Straute Valley to the nine (9) sculptures by international artists of the time - the Road of Peace from Paris to Moscow.

For every sculpture there is a sign, if you take the time to read it, you can learn some interesting things about the sculptures.
