Palais Léopoldina, Neoclassical palace in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

The Palais Leopoldina exhibits symmetrical lines and balanced proportions, with decorative columns framing the entrance and refined architectural details along its facade.

The palace, completed in 1865, served as the official residence of Princess Leopoldina of Brazil and Prince Auguste of Saxe-Coburg after their marriage in 1864.

The building represented the Brazilian imperial family's connection to European nobility through Princess Leopoldina, who gave birth to Prince Peter in the palace.

The palace stood at coordinates 22°54′43″S and 43°13′28″O until the 1930s, when its location became the site of CEFET-RJ educational institution.

Before its demolition, the palace witnessed the birth of two Saxe-Coburg princes who carried both Brazilian and European royal lineages.
