This Palace felt very welcoming as I walked around. The water was artfully used to mirror the palace and show symmetry. It was a strange walk, as one had to pass the rather dingy and littered train station to enter the palace gates where it was immaculate and revealed a truly beautiful view. The name really does say it all. I found the artwork within these walls worthy of hours of gazing and they truly revealed parts of history in an organized and accessible manner. For example on the upper level there were many Biedermeier paintings that showed the longing for a simply country lifestyle and reinforcement of values that supported the home and order. I was intrigued by a painting depicting salon life and a lively game of chess where a woman was victorious against her male challenger.
