# Exterior view [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [SCHLAUN, Johann Conrad]() - Date: 1701-1750 - Technique: Photo ## Commentary Not far to the northwest of Münster, Schlaun built himself a country lodge, the Rüschhaus near Nienberge. In his lodge he succeeded in combining the rustic farmhouse type of the Münster region with the frivolity of the French 'maison de plaisance." A central drive leads to the courtyard façade with its great entrance archway. The garden front is ornamented with delicate windows and door frames and a flight of steps. The picture shows a view from the courtyard. ## Related artworks - [Aerial view]() - [Exterior view]() - [Exterior view]() - [Exterior view]() - [Exterior view]() - [Exterior view]() - [Exterior view]() - [General view]() - [Interior view]() - [Interior view]() - [Interior view]() - [Interior view]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
