Erbprinzenpalais, Classical palace in Wilhelmstrasse, Wiesbaden, Germany.

The Erbprinzenpalais stands as a three-story building with a central gable, featuring minimalist ornamental elements and a geometric cubic structure.

Christian Zais constructed the palace between 1813 and 1820 for Prince Wilhelm of Nassau-Weilburg, who never resided there due to his early ascension to Duke.

From 1821, the building housed the Nassau State Library and multiple museum collections, establishing itself as the cultural center of Wiesbaden until 1915.

The Chamber of Industry and Commerce acquired the building in 1968 for 1.2 million marks and continues to operate there following extensive renovations.

The Erbprinzenpalais remains the last surviving classical building designed by Christian Zais in Wiesbaden, marking a departure from baroque architecture.
