Introduction
Translating into English:
Located across from the beautiful Brühl train station, Augsburg transcends time and space. As you step out of the station, you can feel its grandeur. Built between 1725 and 1728, it resembles a huge palace-like structure, as if it were a vast countryside. Designed by Johann Balthasar Neumann, it served as the luxurious residence of the Prince-Bishops of Cologne and was also a resting place for Falkenlust hunting. It is one of the representative examples of the German Rococo architectural style of the 18th century, embodying the charm of history and era. Just 200 meters away from the train station, its magnificent architecture is awe-inspiring and an impressive highlight not to be missed on your journey.
