Fürstenhaus Herrenhausen-Museum, Royal museum in Herrenhausen-Stöcken, Germany.
The Fürstenhaus is a two-story palace displaying antique furniture, paintings, porcelain, and sculptures from the Baroque period. The building stands near the great baroque garden and houses a collection that reflects the refined taste of the princely court.
The palace was commissioned in 1721 by the King of Great Britain for his daughter. The building reflects the baroque architectural style of that era and served as one of the princely residences in Hanover.
The museum displays portraits and landscape paintings from the 17th and 18th centuries sourced from various residences of the House of Brunswick-Lüneburg. These works reveal how the princely family expressed its power and refined taste through visual art.
The rooms can be explored individually or with small groups at your own pace. For larger groups exceeding ten people, it is advisable to call ahead to arrange a visit and book a guided tour through the historical rooms if desired.
The ceiling painting from the 18th century depicts the goddess Juno on clouds with a peacock and cherub figures. This baroque artwork ranks among the few well-preserved examples of its kind in Hanover and provides insight into the court's artistic preferences of that period.
