Imperial Palace of Goslar
Kaiserpfalz Goslar
The 11th-century imperial palace of the Salian dynasty emperors, whose Imperial Hall is covered in 19th-century murals of German history. It is one of the largest secular Romanesque buildings in Germany.
The Imperial Palace was built in the 11th century by Emperor Henry III and was the venue for many imperial diets of the Holy Roman Empire. It is also one of the largest surviving secular Romanesque buildings in Germany. After its 19th-century reconstruction, the Kaisersaal (Imperial Hall) was covered with huge murals depicting German history and legend. Next door, St. Ulrich's Chapel holds the heart of Henry III. On the grassy slope in front of the building stand equestrian statues of Barbarossa and Wilhelm I. Tickets cost about €10, and you can buy a combined ticket with the Rammelsberg Mine.
