Palais Morass, Baroque palace in Old Town Heidelberg, Germany.

The three-story rectangular building constructed of red sandstone features a main portal flanked by Corinthian columns and a decorative balcony.

Johann Philipp von Morass, rector of Heidelberg University from 1700 to 1701, commissioned the construction of this palace in 1712 on the site of a former hospital.

The palace transformed into the Kurpfälzisches Museum in 1908, displaying municipal art collections and historical artifacts from the Heidelberg region.

The museum entrance is located at Hauptstraße 97, with regular exhibitions spread across multiple floors presenting local history and art collections.

The classical banquet hall, added between 1778 and 1780, demonstrates the architectural transition from Baroque to Louis XVI style.
