Friederikenschlösschen stands in Hannover (Region Hannover), in Lower Saxony, Germany. Recorded dating: 19th century. No visits are on record for this building.

The Friederikenschlösschen was a palace built in Hanover in the early 19th century, begun in 1803 for Prince Carl I of Schwarzburg-Sondershausen and completed in 1817 by architect Georg Ludwig Friedrich Laves for Count Carl von Alten. Acquired in 1841 by King Ernst August for his wife Friederike, it later served as a royal guest house, military housing, and government offices. Demolished in 1966 despite protests, the building no longer stands: only its plot remains, now a public green space near the Friederikenplatz.
