Amalienschlösschen, Ruined palace in Nymphengarten, Karlsruhe, Germany

The Amalienschlösschen stands as remnants within the Nymphengarten area, featuring characteristic elements of European Rococo architectural design from the 18th century.

Built between 1734 and 1739 as a hunting lodge for Kurfürstin Amalia, the structure suffered complete destruction during the intense bombing campaigns of World War II.

The palace incorporated masterful wood carvings and stucco work by artists Joachim Dietrich and Johann Baptist Zimmermann, representing German craftsmanship of the period.

Visitors can access the ruins through the Nymphengarten, located between the Natural History Museum and Ettlinger Tor in central Karlsruhe.

The building's central Mirror Room featured a circular layout crowned by a shallow dome, with adjacent spaces including the Blue Cabinet and Yellow Room.
