Psychiko palace, Royal palace in Psychiko, Greece
Psychiko Palace is a royal residence in Psychiko, an upscale residential area of Athens. The building displays typical royal architectural features and sits in a quiet neighborhood with wide streets and spacious properties.
The palace was built as a residence for members of the Greek royal family, housing Paul of Greece, Frederica of Hanover, and Constantine II at different times. It marks an important chapter in modern Greek royal history during the 20th century.
The palace is also called the palace of Paul and Frederika, or of Frederika alone. Frederika converted to the Orthodox Church there on 20 October 1946, before the royal family's restoration. The children's room was decorated with Mickey Mouse paintings.
Psychiko Palace stands at 14 Diamantidou Street in the Psychiko district, north-east of central Athens. The building is privately owned and not open to the public, so it can only be seen from the street; the facade and the adjoining new annex are visible from outside.
The palace's children's room was decorated with Mickey Mouse paintings, a detail recorded from its years as the home of Paul and Frederica. The building was emptied during the 2020 renovation, with only the facades kept, and its redecoration did not restore the original royal-era ornaments.
