Palais Morass

Palais Morass is a three-story Baroque building made of red sandstone in Heidelberg's Old Town. The facade features a main entrance with Corinthian columns and an ornamental balcony.

Johann Philipp von Morass, rector of Heidelberg University, commissioned this building in 1712 on the site of a former hospital. A century later, a banquet hall was added between 1778 and 1780, blending Baroque with Louis XVI style.

The building now houses a museum that displays the history and artworks of the region. Visitors see collections that reflect the life and artistic traditions of Heidelberg.

The museum is located in the Old Town and easy to access, with exhibitions spread across several floors. The visitor areas are well organized, making it simple to navigate.

The art collections inside contain works that visitors often overlook, offering deep insight into the local artistic tradition across several centuries. Visiting these rooms gives a genuine sense of how art and history are intertwined here.
