Germany - Veitshöchheim Palace

Veitshöchheim Palace (Schloss Veitshöchheim) is located in the town, nearby the river Main and a couple of kilometers from Würzburg. It was built as a summer palace - originally used as a hunting lodge - for the Prince-Bishops of Würzburg between 1680 and 1682. It was enlarged to its present appearance in 1753 by famous German architect Balthasar Neumann.

The palace is surrounded by one of the most beautiful rococo gardens in Germany. The garden - as it can be seen nowadays - dates back to the second half of the 18thcentury, when Adam Friedrich von Seinsheim was Prins-Bishop. The gardens - 270 x 475 meters - offer lakes and waterworks (PiP3) and about 200 hundred sandstone sculptures (PiP4) of gods, animals and allegorical figures.

Around the palace is a beautiful flower garden created; on the north side it has also a kitchen garden (PiP5) with herbs and vegetables. In the1950s and 60s the gardens were restored in its rococo form of 1779.
