Virdenburg
Archduke's estate
Hello!I think it's finally time for me to share with you the results of many months of work. I am delighted to present you Virdenburg - a huge complex, including a rococo palace, a renaissance-gothic castle, french gardens, and in the future also annexes, an orangery, a park, a carriage house, etc.
New Palace
The New Palace is the center of the estate. It was designed in the rococo style by the famous architect - Christopher von Mutereu ;-) - a student of the master Bartolomeo Rastrelli. Its shape is both irregular and orderly. The palace was built on the world axis - its four facades face the four directions of the world. the longest is the garden facade: its length is almost 500 meters. The palace is divided into several parts: residential, representative, and state, which houses, among others, the rooms of the court ministry. The residential part comprises apartments for the Archduke, Archduchess, other family members, and private guests. The representative part consists of libraries, ballrooms, galleries, a concert hall, a palace theater, and a palace church.
Virdenburg Castle
The old Virdenburg castle is a monument to the centuries-old history of the Virdenberg family. Throughout the ages, it was the home of princes and kings. Ultimately, it became the hereditary property of the heirs to the throne. Nowadays, it mainly serves representative functions, hosting foreign guests such as politicians, ambassadors, and members of royal families.
As you can see, I was inspired by some real architectural pieces - eg. the Winter Palace in Saint Petersburg (my beloved one) and the Heidelberg castle, but I modified them significantly and added a bit of "spice" ;-)
I am happy to share a "sample" of the map for download. In the future, I will add the possibility of downloading the whole thing for my patrons - I am also considering creating very special apartments in the palace for the most distinguished ones ;-)
Stay tuned! I will update a lot of content in the future!
Architect and the only builder: Mutereu (Mutro)
