Louis Remy de la Fosse
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Until 1705, he was draftsman in the studio of master builder Johann Friedrich Eosander in Berlin. From 1706 to 1709, Fosse was architect at the Hanover court of Elector of Hanover George I of Great Britain and later castle planner in Schlitz and Kassel.[3] From 1711 to 1714 he was court architect in Hanover and afterwards senior engineer in the service of Ernest Louis, Landgrave of Hesse-Darmstadt.[4]
In 1717, he build the Orangerie in Darmstadt.[2] Fosse was commissioned to completely redesign the Residential Palace Darmstadt.[5] Due to lack of funds, only the main front and one wing of the large estate were realized.[4]
From 1723 till 1750 the castle Hohenlohe-Schillingsfürst (Schloss Hohenlohe-Schillingsfürst) was constructed in Schillingsfürst Bavaria for the princes of Hohenlohe-Schillingsfürst. Fosse planned this castle as a landmark and it is now considered among the most important baroque estates in south Germany.[6]
