Bassenheimer Palais, Cultural heritage monument in Oberreifenberg, Schmitten im Taunus, Germany.
The Bassenheimer Palais features a two-story baroque structure with seven window axes, a mansard hipped roof covered in slate, and a single-story auxiliary building.
Between 1764 and 1768, the palace was constructed as a rent office for Johann Maria Rudolf Waldbott von Bassenheim, who belonged to an imperial noble family.
The palace interior maintains its original baroque elements, including doors, wood paneling, stucco work, floors, and a staircase with baluster railings from the construction period.
Following various uses including a hotel and forestry administration office, the palace underwent renovations starting in 2009 and received the Hessian Monument Protection Prize in 2013.
The building stands near Reifenberg Castle, serving initially as an administrative center for the Reifenberg district under the governance of the Waldbott von Bassenheim family.
