Provenance
Schloss Heimhausen, Bavaria, Germany.
First recorded in the 14th century, Schloss Heimhausen was the residence of the Chancellor of Landshut, Dr.Wolfgang Viespeck, who was elevated to the Reichsadel by Duke Albrecht V of Bavaria. The castle was remodelled as a pleasure pavillion in the style of an Italian Villa by Giovanni Antonio Viscardi between 1689 and 1694. It was further extended in 1747-48 when Count Karl Ferdinand Maria commissioned Francois Cuvill the elder to supply the designs.
