Holsteinerhof, Baroque palace in Basel, Switzerland
The Holsteinerhof features a two-story structure with a mansard roof, seven window axes, decorated gable houses, and a symmetrical limestone facade.
Built in 1696 for Duchess Augusta Maria of Schleswig-Holstein-Gottorf, the palace served as a refuge from French troops during the Palatine War of Succession.
Under Albrecht Ochs ownership in 1767, the palace transformed into an intellectual gathering center where scholars and diplomats regularly met for discussions.
The building currently functions as the administrative headquarters of the University Hospital Basel, maintaining its status as a class A Swiss cultural property.
The palace hosted secret negotiations in its garden, leading to the 1795 Peace of Basel treaty between France, Prussia, and Spain.
