Residential Palace Darmstadt, Renaissance and Baroque palace in Darmstadt, Germany.

The Residential Palace stands in central Darmstadt with its architectural elements combining Renaissance and Baroque styles across multiple wings and courtyards.

Construction started in the 13th century as a moated castle for the counts of Katzenelnbogen before expanding into a residence for landgraves of Hesse-Darmstadt.

The palace contains the German-Polish Institute and houses exhibitions showcasing artifacts from former landgraves and dukes of the Hesse region.

The Technical University of Darmstadt occupies sections of the palace, while guided tours allow visitors to explore the historical rooms and architecture.

The Schlosskeller, established in 1966 in the palace basement, serves as a venue for student events and hosts the annual Schlossgrabenfest music festival.
