Pfalz Grona, Medieval imperial palace ruins in Göttingen, Germany.

The palace complex stood on the upper steep slope of the Leine Valley, with the Grone stream flowing directly below the hillside.

First documented in 915, Pfalz Grona hosted 18 confirmed visits from kings and emperors between 941 and 1025, serving as a center of imperial power.

The site contains a memorial room in the Peace Church, presenting historical information about the former imperial residence and its significance.

The former palace grounds now function as Westpark, marked by a four-meter-high quartzite memorial stone indicating its historical location.

Emperor Henry II spent his final days at Pfalz Grona in 1024, marking the end of the palace's most influential period.
