Schloss Türnich was built from 1757 to 1766 as a Baroque schloss, probably designed by Michael Leveilly, then the French court architect of the Electorate of Cologne.[1] It was augmented in the 1790s by an English landscape garden.[2] The Hoensbroech family acquired the property in 1850[3] and expanded Schloss and garden by a gatehouse.[1] A chapel was built next to the palace in 1893.[3]
