Schloss Engers
Former electoral summer palace in Engers, Germany / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Schloss Engers (English: Engers palace) is a Baroque-style palace in Engers, near Koblenz, Germany. It is situated on the banks of the Rhine river. Johann IX Philipp von Walderdorff (1701–1768), Prince-Elector of Trier, constructed the palace between 1759 and 1764 based on a design by the architect Johanness Seiz [de]. It served both as summer palace and hunting lodge.

Today the palace is now one of the two locations of Villa Musica, a foundation of the German state Rhineland-Palatinate and the broadcaster Südwestrundfunk. Its goals are to support young performers of classical music and to run concerts. Also, it houses a museum with old musical instruments and paintings of Prince-Electors of Trier.
