Palais Sickingen, Baroque residence in Freiburg im Breisgau, Germany.
The Palais Sickingen features a classical French architectural design with a reconstructed facade along Salzstrasse and the original von Sickingen family coat of arms.
Ferdinand Sebastian von Sickingen-Hohenburg commissioned architect Pierre Michel d'Ixnard to construct this urban palace between 1769 and 1773 as his residence.
The interior of the palace contained 240 paintings and elaborate decorations, including numerous gold-plated elements on plaster and wooden surfaces.
The building now serves as the headquarters of the Freiburg District Court, following its reconstruction between 1962 and 1965 after World War II damage.
The palace survived a bombing raid in 1944 when its last grand-ducal resident, Hilda, took shelter there before escaping to a bunker.
