Suresnes Castle

The construction of Schloss Suresnes took place between 1715 and 1718 under the direction of Johann Baptist Gunetzrhainer. It was modeled after the Château de Suresnes near Paris, a place where Franz von Wilhelm, the cabinet secretary, had spent several months during the exile of Elector Max Emanuel. After a period of neglect in the early 19th century, the small palace was occupied by Carl August von Steinheil in 1855. Later, in 1869 and 1870, the sculptress Elisabet Ney lived and worked there.
