The Palais Thurn und Taxis, also known as Bundespalais, was constructed between 1731 and 1739, designed by architect Robert de Cotte. Initially serving as the headquarters for the Imperial Post Office, it became the residence of Karl Theodor von Dalberg from 1805 to 1813 and the seat of the German Confederation's Bundestag from 1816 to 1866. Now part of the Palais Quartier, the building houses office spaces.
