Schloss Herzogsfreude

Manor in Bonn, Germany

Schloss Herzogsfreude (also known as Joy-le-Duc, the duke’s pleasure) was a late baroque style palace in Röttgen, now a district of Bonn, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. Built as a hunting lodge between 1753 and 1761 for Clemens August of Bavaria, Prince-Elector and Archbishop of Cologne, it stood at the heart of the Kottenforst forest and served as a stage for his elaborate par force hunts. The palace was demolished in 1804 during the Napoleonic era. Today, only the geometric network of forest avenues and a bronze scale model on the Schlossplatz in Röttgen recall its existence.
