Palais Rabaliatti, Baroque palace in Schwetzingen, Germany.
Palais Rabaliatti is a two-storey, seven-bay Baroque house built in 1755 in the manner of an Italian noble palazzo, standing at Schlossplatz 4 in the northeastern corner of the square before Schwetzingen Palace. It has a mansard roof with windows in three dormers, and above the central entrance a basket-arch portal carries a balcony with an iron railing. A star on the roof recalls Stella, the home town of Rabaliatti's ancestors.
The palace was built in 1755 by court architect Franz Wilhelm Rabaliatti as his private residence. Later, Reichsgraf von Bretzenheim acquired the property, and after 1803 it served as an administrative seat under Badische rule.
The star on the roof recalls Stella, the home town of Rabaliatti's ancestors, and is still in place today. The house number is Schlossplatz 4, in the northeastern corner of the square in front of the palace. The building is a listed monument and is privately owned.
The building is easily accessible from Schlossplatz and sits near other historical sites in the town center. Since it remains privately owned, visitors can only view the exterior, but its central location makes it simple to see while walking through town.
On the roof Rabaliatti had a star mounted in memory of Stella, the home town of his ancestors; it is still there today. The seven-axis, two-storey house with mansard roof and three dormer windows was modelled on an Italian noble palazzo.
