Palais Weimar, Cultural heritage palace in Heidelberg, Germany.

The three-wing palace features a two-story main building with mansard roof and extends nine axes along the courtyard side and eleven axes along the garden front.

General Johann Hermann von Freudenberg-Mariotte commissioned architect Johann Adam Breunig to construct this baroque residence between 1710 and 1714.

The palace houses the Museum of Ethnology and serves as headquarters for the Josefine and Eduard von Portheim Foundation, promoting international cultural exchange.

Located at Hauptstrasse 235 in Heidelberg, the palace includes a stone balustrade terrace that descends to the Neckar riverbank through park-like grounds.

Scottish merchant James Mitchell acquired the building in 1818 and transformed it with classical architectural elements, establishing it as a center for cultural institutions.
