Schloss Philippsruhe, Baroque château in Hanau, Germany
The rectangular palace features a central dome, symmetrical wings, and decorative elements reflecting French architectural influences of the early 18th century.
Count Philipp Reinhard commissioned the construction of Schloss Philippsruhe between 1700 and 1725, replacing an earlier Renaissance building destroyed during the Thirty Years War.
The Historical Museum Hanau occupies the palace's main floor, displaying local art collections including works by Anton Wilhelm Tischbein and Friedrich Bury.
The palace complex includes a restaurant in the vaulted cellar, multiple event spaces, and an amphitheater that regularly hosts cultural performances.
The North Wing contains GrimmsMärchenReich, an interactive museum dedicated to the Brothers Grimm, while Germany's only paper theater museum occupies another section.
