To make a day of it
Schloss Schönbornslust stands in Koblenz (Koblenz), in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. Recorded dating: 18th century. No visits are on record for this building.
The Schloss Schönbornslust no longer exists: this baroque hunting lodge, built in Koblenz between 1748 and 1752 for the elector Franz Georg von Schönborn, vanished more than two centuries ago. Designed by Balthasar Neumann, his last completed palace, it consisted of a single wing with twenty-one window bays, set among fields and woods used for hunting hare, pheasant and fowl. Caught in the fighting when French revolutionary troops approached in 1794, it was left in ruins, sold off, and fully demolished in 1806. The site, in the Kesselheim district, is now covered by an industrial estate.
