Bassenheimer Palais, Cultural heritage monument in Oberreifenberg, Schmitten im Taunus, Germany.

The Bassenheimer Palais, also called Bassenheimer Schlösschen, is a rendered baroque building of seven by four window axes with a slate-covered mansard hipped roof, standing on the slope below Reifenberg Castle. A two-flight stair on the eaves side leads to a two-leafed segmental-arch portal with a transom; a smaller entrance faces Schloßstraße. A single-story rendered outbuilding and a near-square perimeter wall with a round turret at its south corner complete the estate.

The building was constructed between 1764 and 1768 as an administrative center for Johann Maria Rudolf Waldbott von Bassenheim, a member of a high noble family. After its completion, it served for a long time in managing the Reifenberg territories under this family.

In the upper-floor festival hall, wall paintings on clay undercoat were found beneath later spray plaster: frescoes of Venetian city and landscape views after Canaletto, attributed by the owner's research to the Frankfurt-based Swiss painter Christian Stöcklin (1741–1795). Original doors, panelling, stucco and a baluster staircase also survive.

The building is located in Oberreifenberg near Reifenberg Castle and is easily accessible on foot. Visitors should note that the structure is part of private property and can only be viewed from the outside.
