View of the Electoral Palace of Trier. The Electoral Palace directly next to the Basilika is considered one of the most beautiful rococo palaces in the world. In 1615, Elector Lothar von Metternich had the present north and east wings built; the west and south wings were constructed under Philipp Christoph von Soetern. The structure was finally finished by Carl Caspar von der Leyen.
