Leineschloss, Parliament building in Mitte district, Hannover, Germany

The Leineschloss features a neoclassical portico with six Corinthian columns and stands prominently along the Leine river in central Hannover.

Originally constructed in 1636 as a residence for Duke George of Brunswick-Lüneburg, the palace underwent multiple reconstructions, including major work between 1816 and 1844.

The building represents the transition from royal residence to democratic institution, now serving as the seat of Lower Saxony's state parliament.

The parliament building stands near the Hannover central station, with its distinctive facade visible from the Karmarschstrasse and Leinstrasse intersection.

During renovations in 2016, workers discovered human remains in the building's foundations, leading to investigations about their connection to a 1694 royal scandal.

Location: Mitte

Architects: Georg Ludwig Friedrich Laves
