Schloss Benrath is a baroque masterpiece in Düsseldorf, blending architecture, gardens, and cultural heritage into a harmonious whole. Built between 1755 and 1773 for Elector Carl Theodor and designed by Nicolas de Pigage, the pink-and-white palace served as a summer residence and hunting lodge. Its symmetrical layout and elegant interiors reflect Enlightenment ideals, while the surrounding parkland—spanning over 60 hectares—features formal French gardens, English landscape elements, and a picturesque canal. Today, Schloss Benrath houses three museums: the Museum of European Garden Art, the Museum of Natural History, and the Corps de Logis, which showcases 18th-century court life. The site also hosts concerts, exhibitions, and seasonal events, making it a cultural and recreational gem in the city’s southern Benrath district. Schloss Benrath is not only a historical monument but a living space where art, nature, and history converge.
