Schloss Osnabrück, Royal palace in Osnabrück, Germany.

The four-winged Baroque structure stands in the heart of Osnabrück, featuring a prominent ballroom measuring 25 meters in length on its third floor.

Construction began in 1667 under Prince-Bishop Ernst August I of Braunschweig-Lüneburg, serving as the episcopal residence until the family relocated to Hannover in 1679.

The palace houses a memorial museum established in 2001, documenting the building's complex history during the Second World War period.

The University of Osnabrück has operated its administrative offices within the restored palace walls since 1974, maintaining regular business hours.

King George I of Great Britain died at Schloss Osnabrück in 1727 while traveling from London to Hannover, marking a significant moment in British-German relations.
