In the picturesque town of Brühl, 15 kilometers south of Cologne, Schloss Augustusburg is the 18th-century palace of the Archbishop of Cologne.
Sumptuously decorated and furnished, this charming Late Baroque/Rococo palace is famous for its magnificent staircase hall.
Other highlights include its large park, used for open-air concerts and festivals.
Sharing the same park is Falkenlust Palace, built in 1740 and an important part of this World Heritage site.
