Prince Franz had the Luisium Palace and Park built in the late 18th century as a summer residence for his wife Louise. The princess lived here and received her guests. The classicist palace is a masterpiece by the architect Friedrich Wilhelm von Erdmannsdorff (1736–1800) and impresses with its harmonious design. The living rooms are decorated with graceful classicist paintings and stucco and can be visited.
The palace offers picturesque views of the surrounding landscape: of the ruined arch in the east or of the Walderseer Church further south. The neo-Gothic stud farm to the west can also be seen from the palace. Prince Franz, who was an enthusiastic rider, ran a horse breeding farm here.
The English landscape garden contains numerous garden architectures such as the "snake house", the orangery and the gatehouses. The garden, which is divided into two by a main avenue, contains a commercially used part in which fruit and vegetables were grown.
