The Palais was built in 1729 and served as the Hereditary Prince's Palais from 1790.
This magnificent building, located in the heart of the city, has witnessed centuries of history. Originally conceived as a residence for a noble family, it quickly rose to become a central point of social and political life.

Its opulent facade, adorned with intricate sculptures and decorative elements, reflects the wealth and taste of its original builders. Inside, grand halls and salons impress with their stucco work, frescoes, and valuable furnishings.
Over the centuries, the building underwent several transformations, each leaving its mark. Despite these changes, the original character and historical significance of the Palais have been preserved.
