Elector and Archbishop Clemens August had his summer palace built between 1725 and 1768 on the ruins of a medieval moated castle – initially by the Westphalian master builder Johann Conrad Schlaun. Starting in 1728, the Walloon architect François de Cuvilliés the Elder designed Augustusburg Palace in its current form. However, Clemens August never saw his favorite residence completed, as it wasn't completed until seven years after his death.
