Old manor house in the Renaissance style.

In the history of literature Castle was built Falkenhorst in the transitional period of the poetic realism to naturalism, so in the time of celebrities such as Theodor Fontane, Theodor Storm, Gottfried Keller etc.

Historically it was the time of bourgeois realism with Gründerzeit, optimism, imperialism and colonialism, followed by science faith, urbanization and the refinement of the masses. During this period, more precisely around 1875, many large buildings in the same style were built like for example the Bode Museum in Berlin, the Palace of Justice in Munich, the Semperoper in Dresden and the Opéra de Paris. All the more or less pronounced style of neo-Baroque and neo classicism. So, it was because that after the german French war 1870/1871, Otto von Bismarck decided as victorious first Chancellor after the winning battles of sedan, Weißenburg, Wörth etc. and Wicklow, a reward attached to stand to the people of the Saarland. He gave instruction, in a romantic place, along the lovely Creek "Saar" called"" establishing a memorial for the small Saarland people as "Thanks for the courageous German Fatherland". Quickly it became clear that you could combine the beautiful with the useful and built so "Falkenhorst Schloss", as the administrative center for the small new German area. The building was at outlined by the star architect, which the drafts had made for Castle Neuschwanstein and Linderhof in Bavaria: Georg Dollmann. After the first world war was the estate led to various purposes until it was highly sought after recently and lovingly preserved through various creative companies (advertising agencies, film studios, etc.), to a site of the company ADRIANO - fashion united, led by Adriano Franz, which knows how to take advantage of the aesthetics and the history of the estate for their own creativity always!
