The Castles at Bruhl, Germany

THE CASTLES AT BRUHL (Germany)

The Augustusburg and Falkenlust Palaces were built at Bruhl in west-central Germany at the start of the 18th century. The three-story Augustusburg Palace forms a U, and was once home to the prince-archbishops of Cologne. It was built in 1725 on the foundations of a medieval castle. Falkenlust was built between 1729 and 1737 as a hunting lodge.
