Description

With this revised and extended new edition of the richly illustrated volume Idyllic Splendour of 2017, we invite you to dip into the endless variety of stately homes and parks between Lake Constance and the Baltic Sea. With more than 15,000 castles, mansions and palaces to choose from, the selection presented here is necessarily incomplete. But each example is an ambassador for the many other jewels numbered among Germany's great houses and estates. From celestially inspired Gothic to proud Renaissance, from exultant Baroque to gardens of earthly paradise, this book presents a journey of discovery through epochs, styles, and thematic worlds. It is a journey to enjoy, and one that may well inspire you to personally explore one or other of these worlds - the choice is overwhelming.
