Palais Altenstein, Baroque city palace in Fulda, Germany
The Altenstein Palace stands opposite the old residence of the Prince-Abbot, featuring a grand Rococo hall on the first floor with decorative stucco work.
Built between 1701 and 1704, the palace changed ownership in 1750 when Baron Christian Adam Ludwig Stein zu Altenstein acquired it and initiated Rococo renovations.
The palace hall received ornate decorations in 1774 by court stucco artist Johann Michael Hoys, who created cartouches representing the four seasons.
Following extensive renovations from 2014 to 2016, the palace now serves as an administrative building and houses the city registry office of Fulda.
In 1961, two window sections of the palace facing the castle side were removed to make space for the construction of a bus station.
