Schaumburg Palace, the building of which was completed in 1859, is a no less famous landmark of Bonn. Right after the building of the palace a beautiful large garden was laid next to it. Even nowadays the garden remains a favorite place of rest among both residents and travelers. Among the religious attractions of the city we simply cannot fail to mention Church of Jesus Christ, which is located near the university. The cathedral is notable not only because of its unique architecture, but also because of a notable historic fact – in this church often played the organ young Beethoven. The church is open to the public every day and everyone can enter its beautiful and spacious halls.
Travelers will certainly be interested in attending the building of the Order of Archangel Michael (Michaelstor), which is located not far away from the center of the city. The mansion was built relatively not long ago, in the middle of the 18th century, but it is no less popular than other older architectural monuments of the city. The building was severely damaged during the Second World War, so nowadays a part of the sculptures that adorn its facade are copies of the works of masters of the 18th century.
