Schaezler Palace

The origins of the Schaezler Palais trace back to 1346, when a structure was first mentioned on this site. In 1499, a new building with an oriel and loggia was commissioned by Imperial Councillor Philipp Adler, which later even served as accommodation for Emperor Maximilian I. The property passed through the hands of prominent Augsburg families such as the Welsers, Rehlingens, Sulzers, and Stettens. In 1764, the banker Benedikt Adam Liebert acquired the building. As the Liebert family had been elevated to hereditary imperial nobility in 1763, a Rococo palace was constructed starting in 1765 according to plans by Munich court architect Karl Albert von Lespilliez. The inauguration in April 1770 was graced by the presence of young Marie Antoinette on her bridal journey to Versailles.
