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.

AUGUSTUSBURG Castle and the neighboring Falkenlust hunting lodge - as well as the gardens connecting the two buildings (which have been brutally cut through since the construction of a bypass road) - quite rightly bear the title of a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The castle park is free to enter (for example, it can be reached in a few minutes on foot from Brühl train station), but cycling is not permitted. The castle itself can be visited as part of guided tours or at concerts.

Augustusburg Castle and the neighboring, much smaller FALKENLUST hunting lodge - as well as the gardens connecting the two buildings (brutally cut through since the construction of a bypass) - rightly bear the title of UNESCO World Heritage Site. The palace park is freely accessible (e.g. a few minutes' walk from the Brühl train station), the hunting lodge itself has an entrance fee. What is particularly striking about the architecture is the flat roof, which is completely untypical for a palace building and is primarily used as a terrace: from there the electoral householder and his illustrious guests could pursue their hobby of hunting birds of prey ("Beiz" or "Beize " called).
