Augustusburg Palace in Brühl, a World Heritage site with spacious gardens, is the work of highly acclaimed European artists, including Balthasar Neumann and François de Cuvilliés. Clemens August of Bavaria, archbishop and elector of Cologne, engaged them to build and decorate what he intended to make his summer residence. In this compact, generously illustrated book, several historians and art historians present the palace’s history, superb architecture, grand gardens and exquisite interiors.
