Took a day trip there from Bonn. The walk around the garden is a must. Inside the palace, it was just breathtaking - the magnificent staircase, the artwork and the interior deco. Strollers were not allowed into the palace during the tour, so we were lucky to have our sling with us. It is highly recommended to get yourself an... More

This palace is also listed on this site as Schloss Bruehl. It is the same place. In any case, this attraction should not be missed. If you are visiting nearby Köln, this is an easy drive. Please see my review under Schloss Bruehl.

The inside of the castle is breathtaking. The magnificent staircase and fascinating frescos by Carlo Carlone simply must be seen! Unfortunately, we were not allowed to use cameras inside of the castle.

Visits to the castle are from 9-13h... More

Biggest problem: It's located about 40 mins away from the Cologne altstadt. But you can easily manage it by subway. On the outside, nothing spectacular, looks like a regular schloss. The inside, on the other hand, had some really spectacular rooms. The first few rooms are nice but nothing superamazing. Wait till you get to the staircase to the second... More
