Braunschweig, Germany
The Residenzschloss Braunschweig is a reconstructed ducal palace in the centre of Braunschweig, originally built in the early 19th century as the residence of the Dukes of Brunswick. The historic building was largely destroyed in World War II and rebuilt in the 1990s; today it houses a shopping centre alongside cultural spaces. The grand neoclassical facade and the palace square remain landmarks of the city.
