The castle is one of the major works of the South German Baroque and is considered in the European context as one of the most important residential buildings of the late Baroque, it thus stands in a row with Schönbrunn in Vienna and Palace Versailles near Paris. UNESCO raised the building, including the Residenzplatz and the outbuildings, to World Heritage status in 1981.
