Neues Palais (Detmold) stands in Detmold (Kreis Lippe), in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. No visits are on record for this building.

The Neues Palais stands in Detmold at the edge of the Palaisgarten and ranks among the city's major civic buildings alongside the Residenzschloss. Built in the early 18th century as a private residence given by Count Friedrich Adolf to his wife Amalie zu Solms-Hohensolms, it changed names and occupants several times across generations of the House of Lippe. The building now houses the Hochschule für Musik Detmold, which shapes what visitors can see on site. Most visitors come for the exterior architecture and the adjoining baroque garden.

What to know

  • The building now houses the Hochschule für Musik Detmold, so the interior is not open for regular sightseeing.
  • The site lies a short walk south of Detmold's town centre, right at the entrance to the Palaisgarten.
  • The adjoining baroque garden, the Palaisgarten, is open to the public and is one of the main reasons to visit.
  • Detmold's open-air museum and summer theatre are both nearby, making it easy to combine a visit.
  • The building is listed as a Baudenkmal in North Rhine-Westphalia.
