Prinz-Carl-Palais stands in Darmstadt, in Hesse, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. No visits are on record for this building.
The Prinz-Carl-Palais is a former town palace of the Grand Duchy of Hesse, located in Darmstadt-Bessungen. Built in the 1830s for a son of the grand duke and his Prussian wife, it kept its classical facade while being altered over the decades to house administrative offices. Its most notable feature is the wide marble staircase inside, austere enough to foreshadow the later Bauhaus style, along with the junction between the original building and the later wing facing Annastraße.
