Munzingen Palace

Munzingen Palace, Castle and stately home in Freiburg im Breisgau, Germany.

Munzingen Palace is a three-storey Renaissance building with a two-storey roof, standing on the Schloßbuck in Freiburg's Munzingen district. Its facades were later richly decorated in Rococo style. The entrance hall has a pillar-supported cross vault and also leads to the house chapel. A courtyard enclosed by single-storey former stables, storerooms and workshops belongs to the complex, along with a park with a lime avenue and old trees.

Johann Friedrich von Kageneck (1633–1705) built the palace in 1672 in Renaissance style. In the 18th century, his successor Johann Friedrich Fridolin von Kageneck had parts rebuilt in Baroque style, probably following plans by Johann Jakob Fechter. In 1744, during the War of the Austrian Succession, Louis XV of France used the palace after the Kagenecks fled to Switzerland. Napoleonic troops later destroyed the buildings.

In the 18th century, church painter Simon Göser painted the dining room ceiling with a sky of classical gods during the Baroque remodelling. The entrance hall, a cross vault carried on pillars, also leads to the palace chapel. The Kageneck family, who still use the building, restored it repeatedly with grants from the Baden-Württemberg Monument Foundation, which named it Monument of the Month in August 2017.

The palace stands on the Schloßbuck, a slight rise in the Munzingen district of Freiburg. The grounds include a park with a lime-tree avenue and old trees. The entrance hall, a cross vault on pillars, also gives access to the house chapel. The family still uses the privately owned building, so visits are limited to the exterior.

The four-sided hipped roof truss, praised for its heritage value, received restoration funding from the Baden-Württemberg Monument Foundation, which named the palace Monument of the Month in August 2017. The family still owns and uses the listed buildings.
