Drostei, Rococo city palace in Pinneberg, Germany
The Drostei is a Rococo city palace in Pinneberg featuring curved architectural forms, gilded decorative elements, and soft pastel colors on its facade and within. The building displays ornamental details characteristic of the style throughout its rooms and corridors.
The palace was built in 1767 for the landowner Hans von Ahlefeldt and soon became a venue for visits by royal guests. It later served various administrative purposes before finding a new cultural role.
The name refers to the regional administrators who once worked here. Today visitors can experience the grand interior spaces that reflect how central this building was to local society.
The building now functions as a cultural center that regularly hosts art exhibitions, concerts, and readings throughout the year. Visitors should check ahead to see what events or exhibitions are currently available.
The building underwent comprehensive restoration work in the 1980s that carefully recovered lost original features and design elements. These efforts preserved details that might otherwise have been lost forever.
