Located in the village of Benrath (a suburb of Dusseldorf since 1929), this summer residence was erected in 1756-73 in the middle of a spacious park bordered by the Rhine by electoral Prince Carl Theodor von Pfalz-Sulzbach. Designed by Nicolas de Pigage, the residence is a fine example of the transition from late baroque to classical architecture. The main building contains some exquisite furniture and 18th century paintings, while the west wing is home to the Benrath Natural History Museum, a fine exhibition outlining the historical development of the Rhine-Ruhr area.
