Kurfürstliches Schloss is an electoral palace in the heart of Bonn’s Old Town. The immense structure was built at the turn of the 18th century as a residence for the Prince-Electors of Cologne. Check out the palace’s impressive architecture and spacious gardens. Today, Kurfürstliches Schloss forms a central hub for the University of Bonn and its spacious lawn is a regular hangout for local students. The lavish residence was first established as the home of Prince-Elector Joseph Clemens of Bavaria. It was designed by esteemed Swiss architect Enrico Zuccalli and completed in 1705\. Wander around the exterior of the building to appreciate its grandeur. Enter the palace to see how the University of Bonn has transformed the building into a hub for learning. Since 1818, the Kurfürstliches Schloss has been a major building in the university’s city campus. You’ll find the university’s administrative centre inside, as well as the faculties for humanities and theology. Check the university’s schedule and you might catch a public lecture or talk within the palace’s auditoriums. One of the palace’s key features, however, is its princely garden. The Hofgarten is an extensive lawn with colonnades of trees flanking either side. The grassy lawn is a popular spot for students to gather, relax and study, as well as hold festivities and demonstrations. Stretch out on the grass if the sun is shining or take a seat in the courtyard directly fronting the palace if it’s chilly. The views looking back toward the palace are magnificent. Kurfürstliches Schloss is located between Bonn’s city centre and the Rhine River. It is easy to access on foot from the city’s historic centre and the main railway station. Alternatively, make use of the city’s trolleybus system to reach the palace. The building is open daily for free. Be sure not to disturb any classes or lectures as you explore the main halls. The Hofgarten is a peaceful green oasis that can be visited any time of day. ## Plan a trip to see Electoral Palace Price found within the past 48 hours.

Bathroom was not very private. Food good and bed comfortable but not clean, we brought our own sheet though.
