Idyllic castle in the middle of a lake |
Justinianstraße 5 Westend Frankfurt, HES 60322 Germany +49 69 55 7791 http://www.holzhausenschloessc... |
This idyllic castle is situated in the middle of a lake in Holzhausen park. Built in 1727-29, it was once the Holzhausen dynasty's country residence. The Rococo building changed hands when it was taken over by the city of Frankfurt in 1923. Today it is used for exhibitions and classical concerts. You have to cross a small bridge to enter the building. The park area is well worth investigating and there is a beautiful playground for children. Review © 2007, Wcities |
