Ottheinrichsbau, Renaissance palace wing in Heidelberg Castle, Germany.
The Ottheinrich Wing features a grand facade with ornate decorative elements, Roman emperor statues, and large windows spanning multiple floors.
Built between 1556 and 1559, this palace wing endured severe damage from French troops in 1693 and a subsequent lightning strike in 1764.
The facade decorations display ancient heroes and Roman emperors, representing military and political power according to Renaissance principles.
The German Apothecary Museum occupies the basement level, while the Emperor's Hall and Lords' Hall host regular exhibitions.
The original larger-than-life sculptures from the facade have been moved indoors for preservation, with replicas maintaining the exterior appearance.
