Schloss Kärlich
The Kärlich palace ( or ) is a former electoral hunting lodge in Kärlich near Koblenz, Germany. It was situated on the northern side of the village. It served as a summer retreat and hunting lodge for the Prince-Electors and Archbishops of Trier. On the site of a destroyed medieval castle, Prince-Elector Karl Kaspar von der Leyen (1618–1676) constructed a renaissance style moated castle between 1654 and 1660. At the end of the 18th century, Prince-Elector Clemens Wenceslaus of Saxony (1739–1812) created a large English landscape garden at Kärlich including various neoclassical buildings. During the French Revolutionary Wars, the Prince-Elector had to flee his electorate. Thereafter, French revolutionary troops looted and demolished the hunting lodge. There is not much left of the castle today, except for various columns and a model of the castle, which can be admired in the local museum of the Mülheim-Kärlich municipality.

Life A member of the noble Leyen family, Charles Kaspar was made a coadjutor bishop on 11 June 1650. He was elected the successor of the then 86-year-old Archbishop Philipp Christoph von Sötern, but this was rejected as Philipp Christoph was the favoured candidate. After the death of the Archbishop, Karl Kaspar started his reign on 12 March 1652. The consequences of the recently ended Thirty Years' War presented the new archbishop with many hard tasks, for example, the population of the archiepiscopal state had declined to approximately 300,000 people. His policy towards the Allies had destroyed many buildings; so he had to restore the country's infrastructure, especially the justice and agriculture systems, to promote development. He also had to repair the fortresses Koblenz and Ehrenbreitstein. He founded an orphanag ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
