Benrath Palace, Rococo hunting lodge in Benrath, Germany.
The palace features a central building with two symmetrical wings connected by curved galleries, surrounding a circular pond in the front courtyard.
Nicolas de Pigage designed and constructed this palatial residence between 1755 and 1770 for Elector Palatine Charles Theodor and his wife Elisabeth Auguste.
The palace complex includes two specialized museums: the Museum for European Garden Art in the east wing and the Museum of Natural History in the west wing.
Visitors can access the palace through guided tours, which include viewing the furnished chambers, ceiling paintings, and decorative elements from the 18th century.
The palace grounds incorporate a geometric hunting park with diagonal paths intersecting at a circular route, forming a precise mathematical layout.
