 Monumental historic building complex |
Bolongarostraße 109 Höchst Frankfurt, HES 65929 Germany +49 69 2123 8800 (Frankfurt Tourismus) |
In Höchst between 1772 and 1775 the Italian snuffbox factory owner, Bolongaro, built a palace for 2 million Gulden. The monumental complex is built in baroque style with a chapel, richly decorated rooms, a terrace, pavilion and sculptured gardens on the banks of the river Main. The driveway stretches more than 117m. The Bolongaro family, who had grown rich through their sales of tobacco, coffee and tea, had a seat in the then independent township of Hecht. Situated just west of the residence is the former tobacco factory. Since 1908 the palace has been in the trust of the town of Höchst. It is possible to get married here and public events are held in the gardens during the summer months. Review © 2007, Wcities |
