Rococo style in architecture is actually the exagerrated version of Broque architecture. Although they are similar, there is also a difference in tone between Broque and Rococo. That is, while Rococo has a more pleasing and softer tone, Baroque is dramatic and powerful. The style originated in Paris in the 18th century, and started as a salon decor. Its characteristics are pastel colors, stucco, curves, asymmetry, use of nature, and illusion.
Here are some of the most amazing examples of Rococo in architecture.
The Amalienburg in Munich
Ca’ Rezzonico in Venice, Italy
St. Andriy’s Church in Kyiv
Charlottenburg Palace in Berlin, Germany
Branicki Palace in Warsaw
