Hanau is quite famous for a number of things, but to us it is important for being the birthplace of the Brothers Grimm!
What a joy to be here!
Hanau has a long history of gold and silver making that dates back as early as 1303. It has a nickname of the Gold and Silver City. We just might have to buy some jewelry as a momento. We see beauty and heritage everywhere and are so excited to begin this leg of our journey!
This palace was built as a summer residence for Graf Philipp Reinhard von Hanau-Lichtenberg, based on French models.
Schloss Philippsruhe is one of the most important architectural and cultural monuments in Hessen. We wouldn't mind staying inside and living here for a while...but the journey continues!
Now that's a beautiful palace!
