Brunswick Palace

Brunswick Palace is a classically designed building featuring a reconstructed western facade with large windows and sculptural details at its entrance. The structure today combines retail spaces, historical exhibitions, and archive facilities that serve multiple purposes.

The palace was built in 1753 as a residence for Brunswick's dukes and served royal functions until 1918. After being heavily damaged during war, it was demolished in the 1960s and later rebuilt as a modern shopping center.

The palace houses a municipal archive and library where visitors can explore documents related to Brunswick's past. These collections offer insight into how the city evolved through different periods.

The building offers shopping facilities alongside historical exhibitions and provides access through designated entry points with elevators available. Visitors should note that wheelchair accessibility is limited in some areas of the complex.

The building was demolished in 1960 due to war damage and later transformed into a shopping center while preserving its historical facade. This blend of old exterior and modern interior creates an unusual mix of purposes within a single structure.
