More about the book
Germany has a wealth of magnificent palaces and castles, rich in art and history. Photographed by Paolo Marton and described by a team of local scholars, this collection of photographs records an incredible number of architectural styles, from the Gothic severity of Schloss Gattorf to the fin-de-siecle madness of King Ludwig's Bavarian castles. Many, such as Berlin's Charlottenburg and Wurzburg's Residenz with its splendid Tiepolo frescoes are popular tourist sites. Others, equally grand, are relatively unknown. Here are enchanting pavilions, beautiful formal gardens, magnificent interiors and their priceless contents. The book also contains an introduction to the princely states, maps, a glossary and a bibliography.
