Electoral Palace

The Electoral Palace in Trier is one of Germany’s finest Rococo residences, built beside the remains of the vast Roman Basilica of Constantine. Once home to the prince-electors of Trier, it combines elegant 18th-century design with a setting that reflects the city’s layered Roman and Baroque history. Visitors come for its refined pink façade, ornamental interiors, and pleasant palace gardens. It is especially worth a stop if you are interested in architecture, historic power centers, or want to see how Trier’s Roman past connects with later European styles.
