High Baroque
The Baroque style finds expression in the magnificent New Palace. Two architects were responsible for expanding the palace: Christoph Gessinger (1670–1732) and Franz Anton Bagnato (1731–1810). Gessinger, a former Benedictine monk, segmented the facade of his “New Building”, which was constructed between 1710 and 1712, with giant sandstone columns that span all three stories and protrude from the surface of the facade. The representational single-wing building commands a seat high above the lakeshore.
