Electoral Palace

This is a very beautiful building, but I am not sure if you are able to go inside. We enjoyed its beauty from the outside and there is also a public garden in front of it that people can enjoy for free.

Did not go in, but grounds are open to explore. From here an easy walk to roman bath house area.

A really cool political and social/political building since it was a palace originally. Roman design build and alot of statues as well as large stained glass. Wall heated by Romam inginíty

There is limited public access to the palace except for occasional public tours or exhibitions since it’s an administrative building now. Gardens and palace facade is the main draw for visitors.

So lovely gardens and statues. Magnificient place. So calming and nice for day rest. One of the most beautiful historic towns in Germany - Trier. Worth visiting during all seasons. Even in winter. My recommendations!

The palace is next to the basilica. The facade is a gorgeous Rococo style with lavish pink and gold decorations. There are some marble sculptures in front of the palace. The large garden and lawn balance the splendidness. Because it’s so picturesque, some people were taking wedding pictures there. The pond at the side provides serenity.

The gardens in front of the Palace are amazing. Very well maintained and peaceful. They attract visitors of all ages and the playgrounds next to them are very convenient for parents with small kids. The white sculptures and the pond add to the beauty of the green surroundings.

Nicely coloured palace with beautiful rococo façade surrounded by joyful and nice gardens full of sculptures. Its a great place to relax and reflect after a long day touring Trier. The palace's vibrant pink color and its rich rococo façade are simply stunning, making them perfect background for wedding photography. Apparently visitors can access the interiors by booking a tour, however I did not have time to do that, I did rather take a stroll around in beautifully maintained and manicured gardens with ponds and fountains. There is a café located in the middle of the gardens and at the south corner an entrance to the Kaiserthermen can be found. Visited in July 2022.

The Kurfurstliches Palais was the former residence of the Archbishops and Electors of Trier from the 16th-18th centuries. The building was originally part of the Ancient Imperial Palace that was used by Constantine the Great in around AD 310. The palace is still attached to the Basilica of Constantine which also dates to (AD 310). Today the palace houses various offices of the federal government and occasionally held classical music concerts. The concerts are performed in the Grand Chamber of the rococo south wing. Entrance is not permitted into the Palace, although the attached Basilica of Constantine is open and free to the public. Although the palace is not open, you are permitted to walk about outside and into the gardens since the early 20th century. The south wing of the palace boasts Rococo architecture designed by Johannes Seiz. The palace is fundamentally pink in color with gilded gold adornments and trim. There are numerous statues by Ferdinand Tietz displaying figures of Greek mythology, cherubs, and some strikingly out of place figures mostly females. The gardens are enclosed by clipped hedges. A pebbled walkway cuts through the gardens. The gardens are most attractive during the summer when flower arrangements are in full bloom and the garden fountain is in operation. The Furfurstliches Palais is close to the Roman Imperial Baths and Stern Street will take you to Hauptmarket and Porto Nigra (an ancient Roman Gate). The Palais is a nice side attraction to your visit to Old Town Trier but not a major focal point, .and thus a 3 star rating.

Hübsches kleines Barockschloss in der Trierer Altstadt, das man leider nicht besichtigen kann. Freier Zugang besteht allerdings zu dem netten Schlossgarten mit Springbrunnen, Steinfiguren etc. Der "Hinterhof" des Schlosses dient auch Musik- und anderen Veranstaltungen, wie zB bei meinem Besuch. Leider verschandelten die Zelte für ein LGBTQI+ Festival den Blick auf die schöne Schlossfassade.
