Schloss Ernich, Neobaroque palace in Remagen, Germany
Description
Schloss Ernich is a neobaroque palace in Remagen with three wings and eleven axes across its eastern garden facade. The central section features a triangular pediment that faces the Rhine River.
History
Industrial magnate Arnold von Guillaume commissioned architect Ernst von Ihne to build the palace between 1906 and 1908 as his private residence. After World War II it was repurposed as a diplomatic residence.
Culture
The palace served as a French diplomatic residence from 1949 to 1999, first housing the High Commissioner and later the Embassy. During this period it played a role in Franco-German relations in the region.
Practical
The estate sits at 134 meters elevation and connects to circular road 40 via a private winding road parallel to the Rhine. The approach follows the river landscape and fits naturally into the local terrain.
Did you know?
The grounds contain several historic outbuildings including a former carriage house, a gardener's residence, and an old bowling alley. These structures give a sense of the daily life and self-sufficiency of a large private estate.
