Palais Rechberg stands in Altstadt-Lehel (München), in Bavaria, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. Recorded dating: 17th century. No visits are on record for this building.

The Palais Rechberg, also known as the Radspielerhaus, is a townhouse in the Hackenviertel quarter of Munich's old town. Built in the late 17th century from two combined houses, it was later reworked into a plain early classicist façade with bay windows and a rusticated base. The poet Heinrich Heine lived there for a time, and the garden behind the building, one of the last surviving private gardens in the old town, still holds a fountain by Roman Anton Boos.
