Palais Minckwitz, City palace in Dessau-Roßlau, Germany
The Palais Minckwitz stands as a two-story rectangular structure with large arched doorways, classical portals, and a gable roof with upright dormers on Johannisstraße.
Built between 1745 and 1750 under Prince Leopold I of Anhalt-Dessau, the palace changed ownership multiple times before becoming property of the von Minckwitz family.
The palace represents the architectural transformation of Dessau's Neustadt district, which emerged at the end of the 17th century opposite the Lutheran St. Johannis Church.
Located near several other historical palaces in Dessau-Roßlau, the building currently functions as a residence and hosts small concerts and literary readings.
The palace houses a former theater and workshop space where Ludwig Nicolaus Friedemann Hunold produced innovative stoneware inspired by Josiah Wedgwood's techniques.
