    The castle is always worth a visit. Of course, it is most beautiful in summer when the palace gardens are in bloom. A round through the adjacent forest is always very interesting.

    A nice destination in the greater Cologne area. Not only the castle is worth seeing, but also the Falkenlust Castle, which is located outside the park.

    Featuring the first Rocaille in Germany, Augustusburg Palace marks the cradle of Rococo in Germany.

    Elector and Archbishop Clemens August had his summer palace built between 1725 and 1768 on the ruins of a medieval moated castle – initially by the Westphalian master builder Johann Conrad Schlaun. Starting in 1728, the Walloon architect François de Cuvilliés the Elder designed Augustusburg Palace in its current form. However, Clemens August never saw his favorite residence completed, as it wasn't completed until seven years after his death.
