Margravial Palace Erlangen, Baroque palace in Erlangen, Germany

The palace displays ornate architectural details across its symmetrical facade, featuring tall windows and decorative stone elements from the early 1700s

Commissioned by George William of Brandenburg-Bayreuth, the palace construction involved architects Antonio della Porta and Gottfried Gedeler between 1700 and 1704

The palace forms an integral part of the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg, functioning as an educational institution within its historical walls
