Palais und Barocksaal

The Palais und Barocksaal is an architectural ensemble in Rostock comprising a ducal palace from 1714 and a later theater hall. The interiors feature wood-vaulted ceilings, ornamental stucco work, and medallions depicting members of the Mecklenburg ducal family.

The original palace was built in 1714 as a ducal residence, and the Baroque hall was added in 1750 by French architect Jean-Laurent Le Geay. The hall was commissioned by Duke Christian Ludwig and originally served as a comedy house for court entertainment.

The hall hosts concerts, theater productions, and cultural events that bring together artists and audiences throughout the year. Its Baroque interior with ornate stucco ceilings creates a special setting that shapes how performances are experienced here.

The hall can be rearranged for different events and accommodates between 150 and 500 people depending on the setup. Event information and visitor details are available on-site or through local tourist information services.

The stucco ceilings inside contain original craftsmanship with intricate details that many visitors overlook when looking around the hall. This handiwork reveals the care taken during the hall's construction to perfect the Baroque elements.
