Palm’sches Schloss, Cultural heritage château in Mühlhausen district, Stuttgart, Germany
Palm'sches Schloss is a neoclassical building erected in 1813 at Mönchfeldstraße 35 in Stuttgart's Mühlhausen district. It stands on the foundations of the demolished old castle and was extended around 1895. The building has served as the district's Bezirksrathaus since the city of Stuttgart acquired it in 1933.
The present palace was built in 1813 for Baron Jonathan von Palm in the Neoclassical style, on the foundations of the demolished old castle. The Palm brothers, bankers from Esslingen active in Vienna, had been ennobled as hereditary imperial knights in 1711 and acquired the Mühlhausen estate. The building was altered several times, with additions around 1895, and has been a listed monument since 1971.
The name Palm refers to the banking brothers Johann David, Jonathan and Franz Palm from Esslingen, raised to hereditary imperial knighthood in 1711; they bought the Mühlhausen estate and founded the House of Palm. Since 1933 the building has belonged to Stuttgart and now houses the Mühlhausen district office.
The building is located at Mönchfeldstraße 35 and is easily accessible by public transportation. The adjacent gardens offer a peaceful setting for a walk around the grounds.
Two original lion sculptures and heraldic stones from the building are now preserved in Stuttgart's Municipal Lapidarium collection. These artifacts document details of the original decoration no longer visible on the structure itself.
