Schaesberg Palace
The Schaesberg Palace at Ritterstrasse 16, 16a in Düsseldorf is a listed building. The building is now part of the Ursula High School complex . With its “clear proportions and the elaborately designed window frames”, it is reminiscent of the facade of Bensberg Castle , the main work of the court architect Matteo Alberti, and is attributed to this.
history
In 1684, Elector Johann Wilhelm gave a largely undeveloped site, property no. 16, to his General War Commissioner Friederich Christian Freiherr von Spee . The property with building no. 18, later no. 16a, was bought in 1695 by his widow von Spee from the Kreuzbrothers in Düsseldorf . At the beginning of the 17th century it had become the property of the Bergisch Chancellor, Imperial Count Johann Friedrich von Schaesberg , via another intermediate owner who had bought both properties in 1696 . He had the palace built by Matteo Alberti between 1707 and 1713. Schaesberg's residence comprised this palace, which was joined to the north by a garden with an orangery, pheasantry and stables. Later it was owned by the Prince of Arenberg, among others . Sessions of the Higher Appeal Court were held in this palace for many years until 1814 .
