View of Falkenlust Hunting Lodge

Highlight • Castle

Just a short walk from Augustusburg Castle in Brühl, on the edge of a secluded forest, another attractive sight is the Falkenlust hunting lodge, one of the preferred hunting lodges of the Elector of Cologne and Archbishop Clemens August (1700/-61).

In just a few years between 1729 and 1737, one of the most intimate and precious creations of the German Rococo was created according to the plans of the Bavarian court architect François de Cuvilliés.

The Falkenlust hunting lodge, which was acquired from private ownership by the state of North Rhine-Westphalia, has been open to the public as a museum since 1974.

Falconry is presented in a clear and informative manner in the outbuildings. The way the falconers live and work is shown in the falconer's room, which is furnished true to the original.

Falkenlust Castle was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1984 together with Augustusburg Castle as an example of a uniquely preserved Rococo work of art in Germany.

From 1730 onwards, a chapel dedicated to Maria Aegyptiaca was built in the Falkenlustbusch in the immediate vicinity of the hunting lodge, which was designed by Peter Laporterie in the form of an astonishing hermit grotto with shells, minerals and crystals.

View of Augustusburg Palace from the avenue

Highlight • Viewpoint

not only beautiful to look at, but also a place to linger thanks to the many benches. The most beautiful thing is in the morning at 7 a.m., because it's the quietest and you couldn't talk to the birds😉

Poppelsdorfer Allee and view of Augustusburg Palace

Highlight • Viewpoint

According to the wishes of the builder, the Cologne Elector Clemens August, the Poppelsdorfer Allee was originally intended to lead to what is now the Bonn district of Poppelsdorf and thus connect Clemensruhe Castle ("Poppelsdorf Castle") and the castles in Brühl.

Augustusburg Palace Park

Highlight • Historical Site

A wonderful excursion highlight in the Cologne area. Great park - however, dogs must stay on a leash. Many cafes in the nearby city center.

In the past, you had to put on felt slippers to visit the castles in Brühl. At least with the Falkenlust, the shoes are still cleaned. A nice exploration of the palaces inside and out, as well as the extensive park with its avenues.

Today I had another appointment in Cologne, but it wasn't until the afternoon, and I had nothing to do beforehand. So, I decided to take a short walk in the Brühl Palace Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site after all.
The park is really beautiful, and if I have too much time again, I'll take a look inside 😉

Today again in the Brühler Schlosspark is always nice. At Falkenlust Castle, the tips of the fence were restored - actually by hand with gold leaf. 😀👍
