Imperial Palace Goslar

An outstanding example of medieval secular architecture is the Kaiserpfalz in Goslar, built in Romanesque style. It is the largest, oldest and best preserved secular building of the 11th century in Germany. Until the year 1219, the Great Imperial Hall housed 23 Reichstag. There you can admire the oversized mural paintings from the 19th century that tell the story of the Holy Roman Empire.

The large exhibition presents, in addition to many testimonies of the time, the famous, medieval Kaiserstuhl—the throne of the German emperors and kings, created from Rammelsberger ore. Next door, in the magnificent Ulrich Chapel, visitors will find the heart of the builder of the Palatinate, Henry III, and his final resting place.
