Holzhausen Palace, known locally as the Holzhausenschlösschen, is a baroque jewel in Frankfurt am Main that blends aristocratic history with cultural life today. Built between 1727 and 1729 for Johann Hieronymus von Holzhausen, a member of one of Frankfurt’s most influential patrician families, the palace replaced an earlier medieval moated castle. Designed by architect Louis Remy de la Fosse, it stands gracefully within Holzhausen Park in the Nordend district, surrounded by water on three sides. Its elegant façade incorporates Renaissance elements from the earlier structure, while the mansard roof and belvedere highlight its baroque character. Once a private country residence, the palace has survived centuries of urban growth and now serves as a cultural venue, hosting concerts, lectures, and exhibitions organized by the Frankfurter Bürgerstiftung. The surrounding park, redesigned in the early 20th century, offers a tranquil green space where visitors can enjoy the palace’s reflection in the pond and experience a rare harmony of architecture and nature. Holzhausen Palace remains a beloved landmark, embodying Frankfurt’s continuity between past and present.

The palace now hosts concerts, exhibitions, and cultural events, making it a vibrant local landmark.
