Holzhausenschlösschen, Baroque water palace in Nordend, Frankfurt, Germany

The Holzhausenschlösschen stands as a rectangular structure with five bays on the longer façade, surrounded by water and connected by a stone bridge.

The palace, built between 1727 and 1729 by architect Louis Remy de la Fosse, replaced a medieval fortress on the grounds of the Holzhausen family estate.

The building serves as headquarters for the Frankfurt Citizens Foundation, organizing chamber music concerts and cultural events throughout the year.

Following renovations in 2014, the palace includes modern facilities with barrier-free access and updated event spaces for public gatherings.

The structure features Nordic architectural elements, including a distinctive säteritak roof style, which differs from traditional German domestic designs of that period.
