Bolongaropalast, Baroque palace in Höchst, Germany

The Bolongaropalast extends 117 meters along its north facade, featuring three wings in a U-shaped configuration with a terraced garden on the southern side.

Tobacco manufacturers Josef and Jakob Bolongaro constructed the palace between 1772 and 1774, establishing their residence after obtaining citizenship in Höchst from the Elector of Mainz.

The palace features decorated rooms with mirrored walls, ceiling paintings, silk wallpaper, and a chapel that serves as a concert and literary events venue.

The palace renovation project continues until 2024, after which it will function as a cultural center with exhibition spaces and a museum displaying Höchst porcelain collections.

Napoleon Bonaparte spent his final night on German soil at this palace in November 1813, followed by Prussian Marshal Blücher using it as headquarters.
