Schloß Philippsruhe

…translates to “Philipp’s Rest” Palace. And one of the lions at the entrance is literally taking a nap. Nicely situated on the outskirts of Hanau city, Hesse, Germany, the house and the vast park are seriously afflicted by the perpetual stream of aircraft approaching Frankfurt International Airport. The 17th century founders of the estate couldn’t anticipate the burden of modern air traffic going directly over their house and spoiling their rest seriously.
