The Renaissance influence is evident in the south, east, and old north wings of the palace, which were built between the 1530s and the 1550s. The Baroque style is seen in the alterations and enlargements made to the three Renaissance wings in the 1680s. The Rococo influence is seen in the new west and north wings, which were started in 1764.
