Talk about best rococco work at least in germnay then You will find it here! Hardly destroyed by the war so basically the building is intact!All rooms are beautiful but will give you a drop jaw as you go up the stairs, magnificently made!
This palace was the destination of our Sunday trip and it was great choice. The palace isn't really big but it's charming. The stuff is professional and it's possible to rent audio guide with around 10 different langues. The sightseeing takes around 1 h and as a student, it costs 5 euro (with audio guide). Strongly recommended
Beautiful must see, and the gardens, just beautiful. No words can describe how amazing it is especially inside oh my god it was jaw dropping ! There was nothing I didn't love!
Wet morning in Cologne brightened up by lunchtime. Used the Koln Welcome card to take the S-bahn to Bruhl Mitte followed by a 600 metre walk to the Schloss. Boy - was it worth it.Beautiful location with extensive gardens leading to Falkenlust hunting lodge.Take a tip - do what the locals do on a Sunday - go for a walk and sit in the gardens.
We visited Augustusburg late in the afternoon when the sun was low, so we got to see the schloss glowing in the twilight. It looked amazing and highlighted the architectural features of the building/s. The gardens are impressive, although all the water features in the main garden had been emptied for the winter. We particularly like the formal garden with its box hedges. Great place for a picnic in the summer or a stroll in the sun. Tune out territory!
Schloss Augustusburg is immediately visible directly in front of you as you exit from the train station at Brühl, just 10 minutes by train from Bonn and only slightly further from Cologne (the tram is much slower). It was built for the bishops of Cologne in the first half of the eighteenth century and is in the Baroque style. There is a great deal of stucco and fake marble, and well-preserved interiors, though not many original objects (the Library is empty, all the books having been sold off long ago).The admission charge of 6 euros is reduced to 3 euros if you have the ‘Bonn City Welcome Card’. This entitles you to a guided tour of approx. one hour, in German only. There are audio guides in many languages (1 euro extra), so you can listen to the commentary in your own language, which is what the Japanese in my group were doing; this appeared to satisfy them, so I don’t see the point of complaining about the lack of multi-lingual guides.The tour was interesting and the guide (a student?) had much to say about each room and was keen to answer questions. It is worth pointing out that the ‘no photography’ rule is regularly honoured in the breach. The guide drew attention to the rule at the start of the tour in slightly apologetic fashion, which most visitors took as a hint that she would not intervene in the event of catching you in the act. In fact, nearly everyone tried and succeeded in taking pictures (discreetly) in the course of the tour. There is a small shop, but no café or resting place. After the tour you can stroll around the extensive ornamental gardens or walk all the way to Falkenburg, the other palace, some 2 miles away. If you don’t require the tour, access to the gardens is free.The other main attraction in Brühl is the Max Ernst Museum, strongly recommended to all aficionados of modern art.
最大的问题:离科隆老城区40分钟的车程,但是乘地铁很容易就能到达。外面没什么好壮观的,看起来就是一个普通的古堡,而里面就有一些真正很壮观的房间。第一几间房间漂亮,但没什么特别令人惊叹的,等走到二楼的楼梯处,哇,真的太漂亮啦,以前在德国从来没看到过这么漂亮的房间,我还参观了很多不错的地方。拿破仑曾经在这里呆过,这里是禁止拍照的。一定要找一个你自己语言的导游,要不然你就会错过很多有趣的事实,就像这些居民是怎样相信水能致病,所以从来不洗澡之类的。如果你有时间来这个地方,那我推荐你来这里看看。
The palace itself is really quite impressive. The grounds are also beautiful. It is like a smaller more manageable version of Versailles. Definitely worth visiting if in the Bonn/Cologne area. However, the English language tour is not well coordinated. The recordings are often much longer and/ore shorter than the German descriptions and guide (who was rather surly about having non-German speakers on the tour) would not let us stray even the slightest from the group to finish the recordings.
If you have the time to go to Bruhl, I would definitely go for a visit. Seeing this was defiantly one of the highlights of my trip to Bonn and Cologne. To see the castle, you need to be escorted around as part of a tour and the tour is only in German. Fortunately they have an audio guide in several languages so you can understand whats being said in each of the rooms. One slight issue is that the audio guide commentary and the tour speed are slightly different, so sometimes you end up finishing a room and waiting for the rest of the group, other times, the tour skips a room which has an audio guide commentary, so just watch out that if the tour doesn't stop somewhere, it doesn't mean there isn't anything interesting in that room. I also found there is a bit of a clash between listening to the audio guide commentary over the tour guides German commentary.The highlight of the castle is the staircase, one of the most magnificent I have seen in the world. There is definitely a sense of awe when you look up from the bottom of it.I would recommend that you buy the Bruhl pass, which gives you discounted tickets to Augustusburg Castle and the Max Ernst Museum (and other benefits). Seeing both is a great way to spend a few hours of time.
This is one of my worst experiences in Germany.The palace itself is quite fascinating, and it's a bit like Versailles on a smaller scale, with a beautiful garden. However, the whole visiting experience is not pleasant. First, one could only enter with a guided tour, which is in German.I thought, should be okay with the aid of the audio guide. But it was indeed a problem because sometimes we were rushed to the next point of interest even before the audio explanation was finished, and it also happened that the guide went on talking for several minutes (in German) at places, and we were NOT allowed to walk around by ourselves. I was once so bored that I wanted to get back to the previous room and finish the audio guide, but got stopped rudely by the guide, asking me to stay with the group. I understand that some artifacts are delicate, but this is definitely not the way to treat the visitors.... The tour lasted for about 45 minutes, and again, you cannot stay in the palace after the tour ends... I was thinking to visit the Hunting house on the other side, but the staff in the ticket office was very unfriendly and pretty ignored me when I asked her for directions.I wouldn't bother to go back again, and won't recommend the palace to anyone who doesn't speak German. It will be a better idea to just go visit Versailles, which is even more magnificent, and with much more friendly and informative staff.
