Benrath Palace is a stately pleasure palace in the south of Düsseldorf, designed in the French style. Completed in 1770, the "Maison de plaisance" was considered to be superbly organized and comfortable at the time. 

The virtual 3D tour gives you an insight into the Corps de Logis - the main building of the five-part palace ensemble - and into courtly life in the late 18th century.

In 1755, Elector Carl Theodor von Pfalz-Sulzbach commissioned his French architect and garden director Nicolas de Pigage to build a summer residence and hunting lodge at the gates of the city. The result was an ultra-modern building with four floors at its core and connected to its wings via underground corridors. Some of today's furnishings come from the original castle, which was inhabited until 1911. These include carved console tables, powder tables and inlaid console tables.
