A palace that defines and gives meaning to its location perfectly. The pink tones paint the city around and give a scent of History to everything that’s surrounding.
Inside there’s a military museum that I didn’t visit because honestly that’s not really my thing, I really prefer the sights, and also because it was already closed at that time.

The "integrated design" of the Park and the Palace [as well as the nearby town] features a high degree of "symmetry". It has recently been refurbished, and perhaps the most interesting "decorations" can be found in the area called the "ancestral hall" [which is also the largest]. The castle also houses two museums-- including the "Military History Museum" and the "memorial site for the German liberation movement". It is definitely worthy of a visit- perhaps combined with the"Schloss favorite Castle".
