The palace’s four distinctive corner towers rise prominently above the surrounding landscape. Seehof Palace was built from 1686 onwards under Marquard Schenk von Stauffenberg, based on plans by architect Antonio Petrini. Following extensive renovation work by the Free State of Bavaria, the magnificent state rooms are once again open to visitors.
Parts of the 18th-century gardens have also been restored. Their highlight is the cascade, whose water displays can be admired on the hour during the summer months.
The restored formal garden in front of the orangery offers another special experience. Bitter orange, orange and lemon trees fill the air with their captivating fragrance, evoking the allure of the Mediterranean. The orangery buildings, once the winter quarters for these southern plants, now house an excursion café and an exhibition of original works by Ferdinand Tietz, the renowned Franconian garden sculptor. His enchanting Rococo sculptures are a particularly distinctive feature of the gardens at Seehof Palace.
