History of the Benrath Palace:
In 1755 Elector Palatine Carl Theodor ordered court architect Nicolas de Pigage to build Benrath Palace. The building was finished in the 1770ies. In accordance with the baroque ideal the Corps de Logis (main palace) is the formal and functional centre of the entire complex. The surrounding gardens relate to the main palace, thus establishing a total work of art. Same as the palace – which is the highlight as well as the terminal of the building type called ‘Maison de Plaisance’, that had been developed since the 17th century – the park is a remarkable result of a (late) baroque development, which was superseded by the English landscape garden shortly afterwards.
