Brunswick Palace
Description
Brunswick Palace (Braunschweiger Residenzschloss) was the residence of the Brunswick dukes from 1753 to 1918.
Work on the first building was begun in 1718 under the direction of Hermann Korb. After the building burned down in 1830, a second palace was built by Carl Theodor Ottmer, being completed in 1841. It was completely demolished in 1960 at the direction of the city council because of the heavy damage that it had suffered in air raids during the Second World War.
The exterior was rebuilt to contain a palace museum, a library and a shopping centre, which opened in 2007.
