Maximilian II von Lorensberg

Maximilian II, Prince von Lorensberg (1704-1776) was a Braslander nobleman. He was the son of Prince Maximilian von Lorensberg.

He was a very active patron of the arts and built a beautiful palace in Markund that was destroyed by a fire in 1870. He restored Schloss Bandern, the old family seat, and expanded it, turning it into an interesting mixture of gothic and rococo styles.

In 1730 he married his cousin, Countess Maria Josepha von Grübenau. They had nine children: Leonille (born 1731), Ludwig (born 1732), Gabriel (born 1733), Dorothea (1734-1738), Emanuel (1736-1738), Ludovika (born 1737), Maria Katharina (born 1739; nun), Amalie (born 1740) and Nikolaus (born 1742; monk).

He died in 1776.
