Germany - Sögel, Clemenswerth Castle
Clemenswerth Castle (Schloss Clemenswerth) was erected as a hunting lodge for Elector Clemens August I of Bavaria. It was built between 1737 and 1747 in baroque style. The complex consists of a main building (which was only used by the elector), surrounding lodges for guests, a chapel (PiP’s) with monastery and a large kitchen.
Clemenswerth (meaning Island of Clemens) is the only remaining star-shaped hunting complex in the world and is considered being one of the most unique castles in Germany. The buildings are surrounded by a baroque garden with flowerbeds, hedges and avenues with imposing trees.
Nowadays 18th century Clemenswerth Castle houses the Emslandmuseum and numerous events take place in the buildings and grounds.
