Stadtschloss Krefeld, City palace in Krefeld, Germany

The Stadtschloss features rectangular shapes, symmetrical proportions, and columns arranged in a portico, displaying neoclassical architectural characteristics from the late 18th century.

Built in 1791 under Conrad von der Leyen's direction, the palace sustained severe damage during World War II and underwent reconstruction in the 1950s.

The former residence of silk-weaving nobility now functions as the central part of Krefeld's City Hall, preserving its neoclassical design elements.

The palace stands in the center of Krefeld, serving administrative functions while maintaining public access through guided tours and municipal services.

The building's original architect, Martin Leydel, designed two separate wings specifically for stables and riding facilities alongside the main structure.
