Set in an idyllic garden landscape, begun by architect Johann Conrad Schlaun, and finished by François de Cuvilliés, Augustusburg Castle, the sumptuous residence of the prince-archbishops of Cologne is one of the earliest and best examples of 18-century Rococo architecture in Germany, and directly linked to the great European architecture and art of unprecedented richness of the time. In 1725, Clemens August of Bavaria (1700-1761), Prince-Elector and archbishop of Cologne, planned and constructed this large residence at Brühl on the foundations of a medieval castle. It consists of three wings built of brick with rough-cast rendering and has two adjoining orangeries, one on the south side which includes an oratory, while the other to the north houses various service buildings. The Castle of Augustusburg, a bold and successful revamping of the lack-lustre construction of Schlaun and the hunting lodge of Falkenlust, a dazzling creation, ex nihilio, are one of the best examples of the Rococo style, this international art of unprecedented richness. ](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6306326/d6954b7d-0d68-4f41-9b35-c9d75c0688d0.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh) ![Little Castle Lichtenwalde near Chemnitz](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/6034087/44cb66c0-ec3c-4ea2-b566-efd65f83f92c.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=1040&h=580&q=mediumHigh) ### Popular cities in Chemnitz Government Region [Chemnitz Known for Opera, Castle and Historical ](https://expedia.com/Chemnitz.dx4542) Located at the northern edge of the Ore Mountains, Saxony’s third largest city is today a popular student town and industrial center. ## Reasons to visit - Sachsen-Allee Mall - Roter Turm Tower [Explore City](https://expedia.com/Chemnitz.dx4542)[Find Hotels](https://expedia.com/Chemnitz-Hotels.d4542.Travel-Guide-Hotels) [Oberwiesenthal Known for Skiing, Friendly people and Dining ](https://expedia.com/Oberwiesenthal.dx603115) Escape to Oberwiesenthal!
