Neues Palais, Palace in Darmstadt, Germany
The Neues Palais featured architectural designs combining Venetian and Roman palace facades with elements of Baroque and Classical styles across its 64-meter width.
Built between 1864 and 1865, the palace served as the residence for Grand Duke Ludwig IV and Princess Alice of England as the last grand city dwelling of House Hesse.
The palace became central to the Darmstadt Art Nouveau movement when Ernst Ludwig invited numerous artists to design modern interior spaces within its walls.
The former palace grounds now contain the Georg-Büchner-Platz and an underground parking facility for the Darmstadt State Theater following its demolition in 1955.
The palace housed the Gestapo headquarters from 1940 until 1944, when it suffered complete destruction during a Royal Air Force bombing raid.
