Palais Bretzenheim, Noble residence in Mannheim, Germany

The palace features a grand facade with 21 windows across three floors, incorporating bulged arbors and a continuous central balcony in its design.

Built between 1782 and 1788, architect Peter Anton von Verschaffelt created this palace for Elector Karl Theodor's illegitimate children near Mannheim Castle.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart provided piano lessons to the children of Countess Heydeck within these walls during his stay in December 1777.

The building currently houses sections of the Mannheim District Court and stands at the intersection of Bismarckstraße and A2 in central Mannheim.

The central window displays the Heydeck-Bretzenheim family seal, connecting the structure to its origins as a residence for noble descendants.
