A discovery experience between Late Baroque and Rococo

Magnificent fabrics, Rocaille ornaments, salons, and adjoining rooms bring the courtly way of life back to life.

Historical rooms that tell stories

The historical sequence of rooms is almost completely preserved and conveys an authentic picture of how the landgrave and his successors used the pleasure palace. Particularly impressive are the gallery of beauties, the porcelain collection, and the valuable furniture. Those who look closely will discover not only craftsmanship but also the aspiration of a residential culture that combined representation and enjoyment.
