Description

Bruchsal palace

The Château of Bruchsal was built in the baroque style of the mid 18th century starting around 1720 and served as the official residence of the bishops of Speyer. Its centre was a three-winged building that was based on the plans of Maximilian von Welsch. After the plans had been modified several times, the central staircase was built by Balthasar Neumann, who had taken over and filled the role of Chief Engineer since 1731. It is generally regarded as one of the most successful design solutions for a baroque staircase. The Château complex includes numerous other buildings, among them Damian's Gate and the Church of the Court. In the closing days of World War II the Château was badly damaged as a result of the air raid aimed at Bruchsal, and it burned out completely. The famous staircase largely survived (from wikipedia)
