A UNESCO world heritage site in Bruhl.
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.

IntercityHotel Dresden

10/10 Excellent

"Love the hotel and its location. Within easy walking distance to the Christmas markets, shopping and restaurants. It is also next door to the red lights area but it is very quiet. 15 minutes walk from Hauptbahnhof. Love it. Room is very clean. Didn't eat breakfast at the hotel nor use the bar as there are many options nearby. Supermarket and pharmacy all nearby and world class shopping plus the Churches and monuments/fountains/sculptures. Love it. I have to mention that housekeeping is so very accommodating. So sweet to personally call on us to make sure everything was alright. Our request for firmer pillows had an issue as the hotel is fully booked. The head housekeeper gave us 2 pillows in one case to make it firmer and suggested with do it to the other remaining pillows. They also gave us fresh pillow covers. So nice. We will definitely stay here again."
