About Schloss Lieser, Autograph Collection
- The schloss rose on the site of a church property dating to 1710 before Schmidt's 1880s rebuild for the Puricelli family.
- Ground-floor service rooms were built unusually tall as deliberate flood protection beside the Moselle.
- Karl Julius Grätz painted Moselle landscapes between the stair hall pilasters; Binsfeld and Janssen of Trier supplied leaded medallion windows.
- The private chapel carries Grätz wall paintings, Fuchs saint statues, and a Mettlach mosaic floor designed by the architect.
- Stonework mixes Mosel slate with Udelfanger sandstone, and the roof slate came from the Cauber Erbstollen quarries.
