Benrath Palace and Park

The Corps de Logis is the central building of the three-wing maison de plaisance, which was erected for the Palatine Elector Carl Theodor by his garden and building director Nicolas de Pigage. Construction was completed in 1770: it is a complete work of art that unites architecture and nature in one overlapping concept, and is rated as one of the most beautiful palaces of the rococo epoch. The park beside the Palace is enormous, nearly 62,000 m². Take the U71 or the U83 tram towards Benrath, exit Schloss-Benrath. You can also take the S6 towards Cologne, exit Benrath, then walk about 200 m east.
