The Hesse-Darmstadts (Hesse and by Rhine) / Re: Darmstadt--Information & Photos
« on: April 17, 2016, 04:22:58 AM »The New Palace is gone, but the building that used to be the Prince Karl Palace still exists. It's not open to the public, though. However, the Residential Palace, Old Mausoleum at the Rosenhöhe, Prinz Emil Garten, Orangerie and Herrengarten in Darmstadt are still there. http://www.darmstadt.de/en/sights/index.html
There's more outside Darmstadt, such as:
- Schloss Seeheim - it's in very bad repair and will probably be renovated in the nearby future;
- Schloss Heiligenberg at Jugenheim - now accommodating an educational institution, not open to the public;
Schloss Seeheim has been renovated, now privately owned. But you can still visit a part of the Schloss Park. If you are interested, I know someone who offers tours through the park and around the Schloss.
Here is a link to a current picture of Schloss Seeheim
