288 DE - Castles of Augustusburg and Falkenlust at Brühl (1984)

Brief Description

"Set in an idyllic garden landscape, Augustusburg Castle (the sumptuous residence of the prince-archbishops of Cologne) and the Falkenlust hunting lodge (a small rural folly) are among the earliest examples of Rococo architecture in 18th-century Germany."

布吕尔的奥古斯塔斯堡古堡和法尔肯拉斯特古堡

"奥古斯塔斯堡周围风景优美,颇具田园风情,这里曾是科洛涅(Cologne)大主教奢华的住所,而法尔肯拉斯特古堡(the Falkenlust hunting lodge)则是一处狩猎场(小规模乡下活动)。这两个建筑都是18世纪德国洛可可风格最早的杰作。"
