Palace Etzdorf, Rococo palace in Landshut, Bavaria, Germany
Palace Etzdorf is a three-storey hipped-roof building at Ländgasse 50, built around 1745 in Rococo style. Its stuccoed facade is attributed to Johann Baptist Zimmermann. The triangular gable on the east side carries the coat of arms of Franz Freiherr von Etzdorf and Maria Theresia von Lamberg; one storey lower, an oval cartouche in the middle of the seven-window axis shows Maria Immaculata. The southeast gate is flanked by two Tuscan columns.
The plot on the Obere Länd was split in two before 1692; from 1717 a house there belonged to the Freiherren von Etzdorf. The present palace was probably built around 1745, when Vicedom Franz Freiherr von Etzdorf and his wife Maria Theresia, née Countess von Lamberg, had it erected. Today it belongs to the Landshut brewery C. Wittmann, which uses it as its administrative headquarters.
The triangular gable on the east side carries the coat of arms of Vicedom Franz Freiherr von Etzdorf (died 1772) and his wife Maria Theresia (died 1776), a born Countess of Lamberg. Her tomb is mounted on the exterior of the nearby Martinskirche. The building now houses the administration of the Landshut brewery C. Wittmann.
The building stands at Ländgasse 50 in Landshut's historic center and is easily reached on foot while exploring the narrow streets of the old town. The palace is viewable from the street and offers a clear view of its ornamental facade from the sidewalk.
