UNESCO World Heritage Site - Palaces Augustusburg and Falkenlust As Rococo masterpieces in their own right, the Palaces Augustusburg and Falkenlust and their gardens have been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1984. Building work on the Palace Augustusburg, a favourite residence of Clemens August von Wittelsbach, Elector and Archbishop of Cologne (1700-1761), began in 1725. The initial architect was the Westphalian Johann Conrad Schlaun. From 1728 to 1768, François de Cuvilliés, the Electoral Bavarian court architect, oversaw its development into the outstanding residence of that time. The core of the palace is the grand staircase built according to the plans of Balthasar Neumann. The baroque gardens were created in the French style by Dominique Girard. Next to the Augustusburg Palace is Falkenlust, the small summer residence and hunting lodge built in just a few years between 1729 and 1737. It is one of the most intimate and precious creations of the German Rococo Period.
