Benrath Palace- Lyfestyle on the Rhine


The cosmopolitan city of Düsseldorf offers a large number of attractions, including the lovely Old Town, the elegant Königsallee (Kö) and the Rhine promenade.

In the south of the city is Benrath Palace, an absolute highlight for fans of architecture. The construction of the palace ensemble started in 1755. Maison de plaisance was completed in 1770. The complex was erected by the Palatine Elector Charles Theodor and his wife Elisabeth Auguste as a pleasure and hunting palace. The residential is so beautiful inside with lots of hidden rooms, decorated with superb furniture and silk.




The outstanding complex is a harmonically combination of garden installations and stylish architecture ideas.




The main building is surrounded by two symmetrical wings which surround a round pond.




A nice palace with its details of architecture.



The park and its gardens are a magnificent artistic complex and represent the great cultural and natural importance of the region. The park is bordering the Rhine and is a great place to walk in a nice day.





The gardens around the palace have a lot to offer. There are French, English and Japanese gardens.




Idyllic alleys in a relaxing oasis, a great place to stroll.



Very beautiful park in a quiet environment.
