Imperial Palace of Goslar

The Imperial Palace of Goslar (Kaiserpfalz Goslar) is a large 11th‑century imperial complex at the foot of the Rammelsberg in Goslar, Germany, centred on the long two‑storey Kaiserhaus. It was a principal royal residence in the Salian period and the palace district and surviving fabric have been restored; the site is part of a UNESCO World Heritage ensemble with the town and Rammelsberg mines.

As it stood in 1055

The shape it held in its prime.

A long, rectangular Romanesque stone hall building about 54 m long with a steep, slate-covered gabled roof and a projecting central gable; the east façade is punctuated by a rhythmic row of large round‑arched windows and a central columned balcony reached from an upper row of three arched openings. The frontage stands behind a low stone terrace with broad steps and several bronze statues on plinths; at the west/north end a rounded tower block with conical slate roofs and arched arcades links to neighboring chapel buildings. Stone is warm yellow‑brown masonry with dressed ashlar around openings.
