Wangenheim-Palais
Wangenheim-Palais, Neoclassical palace in Mitte district, Hannover, Germany.
Description
The Wangenheim-Palais is a neoclassical building with three floors distinguished by six Tuscan columns framing its entrance. The double-wing entrance door and ornamental details showcase the careful design of the structure.
History
The palace was built between 1829 and 1833 for Count Georg von Wangenheim and later served as the residence of King Georg V, the last king of Hannover. This connection to the royal family shaped its importance throughout the 19th century.
Culture
The rooms feature elaborate stucco decorations and ceiling paintings that depict themes of commerce and transportation. These artistic details shape the character of the spaces and reflect what mattered most to those who built and used the palace.
Practical
The building now houses the Ministry of Economy, Labour and Traffic of Lower Saxony and functions as an administrative center. Visitors should know that it is an active government building and access may be restricted.
Did you know?
The palace was expanded in 1844 with a semicircular winter garden designed by architect Georg Laves. This addition blends natural light with the neoclassical architecture in an unexpected way.
