First mentioned in 1230 as the bailiwick of Paffendorf, this Renaissance-style moated castle is completely surrounded by water. Today, a brasserie invites visitors to enjoy coffee, cakes, and light meals. These can be savored either in the stylish interior or in the castle courtyard overlooking the park. The courtyard also serves as a venue for concerts and Christmas markets. The 7.5-hectare castle park delights visitors with its expansive water features, ancient sequoias and ginkgo trees, a stone pavilion, and numerous seating areas that invite relaxation.

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.

The castle is a great setting for beautiful photos

A real highlight, definitely worth cycling there.
