Did you know this palace was the venue for grand festivities and political decisions before it became a university? Take a few steps, and you can almost feel the centuries-old presence in these walls. Behind you, the Hofgarten offers a peaceful escape, just as it did back then. Let the majestic aura of this place inspire you and listen to the stories these walls have to tell.
