Augustusburg and Falkenlust Palaces, Baroque palaces in Brühl, Germany
The architectural ensemble consists of two magnificent residences connected by extensive gardens, fountains, sculptures, and carefully designed walking paths.
Archbishop-Elector of Cologne Clemens August commissioned the construction of both palaces between 1725 and 1768 as his residential and hunting properties.
The grand staircase in Augustusburg Palace displays intricate marble, jasper, and stucco work, representing the finest elements of German Baroque craftsmanship.
The palaces open their doors to visitors six days per week, offering guided tours in multiple languages through both buildings and their surrounding gardens.
The Falkenlust hunting lodge contains an oval salon specifically designed for falconry activities, with dedicated spaces that housed the prince-elector's birds.
