Schloss Description

The layout of Ludwigslust is centered on a main axis running from the Schloss to the Town Church (by J. J. Busch). The Late Baroque Schloss (1772-76) is built in brick with a facing of Elbe sandstone. It has a striking main front, with 40 over-life-size statues and 14 vases along the roof. The principal feature of the interior is the Golden Hall, two stories in height, with rich decoration (partly in papier-mâché).

Below the main front is a richly decorated cascade (1780), fed by a specially constructed canal (1757-61).
