Kurfurstliches Schloss
What the experts agree on
This grand 18th-century electoral palace, now home to Bonn's university, showcases baroque elegance along the Rhine promenade despite only partial original wings surviving from its 1615 origins as a prince-elector's residence.
“The palatial 1705 Kurfürstliche Residenz was once the immodest home of the prince-electors of Cologne and has been part of Bonn’s university since 1818.”
