Schloss Johannisberg

Schloss Johannisberg is a neoclassical palace and historic winery located in the village of Johannisberg, west of Wiesbaden in Hesse, within the Rheingau wine region of Germany. Originally founded as a Benedictine monastery, the estate was transformed into a Baroque palace and winery in the early 18th century under the ownership of the Prince-Abbots of Fulda. In the early 19th century, the estate came into the ownership of Austrian diplomat Prince Klemens Wenzel von Metternich. It was bestowed upon him by Emperor Francis I in recognition of his role at the Congress of Vienna.
