Paulinenschlösschen, Former ducal residence in Wiesbaden, Germany.
The Paulinenschlösschen featured a symmetrical layout with two wings connected by pavilions and incorporated a central courtyard with covered walkways on three sides.
Built between 1842 and 1845 by architect Theodor Goetz as a widow's residence for Duchess Pauline of Nassau following the death of Duke Wilhelm in 1839.
The interior design of Paulinenschlösschen incorporated Moorish architectural elements, reflecting the 19th-century European interest in oriental styles.
The city of Wiesbaden purchased the building in 1900 and transformed it into a temporary venue while the main Kurhaus underwent reconstruction.
The building served as an event location until February 1945, when air raids severely damaged the structure, leading to its demolition and conversion into a parking area.
